Blackfoot Park

Blackfoot Park was established to commemorate the Old Clayhurst Ferry Crossing Site on the Peace River. The ferry was rendered obsolete by the construction of the Don Phillips fixed bridge connecting the rural areas of Clayhurst and Doe River.

The park is located approximately 75 kilometers east of Fort St. John and 51 kilometers north of Dawson Creek. The park consists of ever changing river flats of silt and gravel bars topped with river-deposited drift wood. A largely poplar/aspen forest canopy with some birch and spruce throughout, combined with a plentiful water, seed and insect supply, provides an excellent habitat for a variety of bird populations. Mule deer, moose, black bears, and beavers also frequent the park on occasion.

The park has rustic amenities including 10 campsites with firepits and picnic tables, 6 outdoor toilets, a swing set and horseshoe pits in addition to a RAW water well.

Please be advised that the boat launch is not recommended for use.

 

 

Montney Centennial Park

The Montney Recreation Commission began developing the site as a Canada Centennial (1867-1967) project. At the Commission's request the Regional District assumed tenure of the park in March 1988.

Located on the northeast side of Charlie Lake it is a popular spot to launch a boat and enjoy a day of fishing. The dominant vegetation in this park is poplar/aspen trees and due to the protective canopy and proximity to the lake a varied bird population exists in the park.

The park includes open campsites, a picnic area with firepits, 2 outhouses and rustic boat launch.

 

 

 

Minaker River Park

The park is located a quarter mile west of Milepost 200 on the Alaska Highway on the Minaker River flats. Nestled in a mixed forest of poplar/aspen, spruce and pine it supports the annual migration of deer, moose and elk. Bears, martens and a variety of birds can also be seen throughout the park.

The park is equipped with firepits, picnic tables, outhouses and campsites and is extensively used by campers, fishermen, hunters and other backcountry travellers throughout the warmer months.

 
Note to Users: The park is inaccessible during the spring due to annual flooding. During this time the road is often flooded or deeply rutted making it impassible when wet.

 

Day Use Parks

Spencer Tuck Park

Established in 1962, the land comprising Spencer Tuck Park was originally donated to the Province of BC through the generosity of Mrs. Esme Tuck, a pioneer of the Moberly Lake area, in memory of her husband Spencer.

The Peace River Regional District now owns the park located on the north side of Moberly Lake approximately 32 kms north of Chetwynd. Poplar/apsen and spruce trees are found throughout the park and up to the shores of the gravel beach of Moberly Lake.

The lakeshore day use park includes 6 firepits, picnic tables, outhouses and a boat launch.
