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 ParkThe 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. |
