| Road Conditions: No
easy road access from Burns Lake. Boat or aircraft access only. |

Features: Forests are
predominantly older pine, and the dry, cold growing conditions are
inhospitable to most plants. Lichens, however, are abundant in the
park, growing where other plants cannot survive. The lichens provide
the primary winter forage for woodland caribou, who spend their winters
in Entiako Park and summers in Tweedsmuir Park.
Wildlife includes caribou, moose, grizzly bears and wolves. Other
wildlife in the park includes black bears, coyotes, lynx, red fox,
river otter, mink, marten, beaver, muskrat, red squirrels and many
more. Also grizzly bears, wolverine, fisher and trumpeter swan.
Landlocked sockeye or kokanee do occur in the park as well as rainbow
trout, lake trout, mountain whitefish, northern pikeminnow, longnose
sucker, large-scale sucker, lake chub and prickly sculpin. Bull
trout, a blue-listed species, may also occur. A century ago, there
were more than 1,500 First Nations people living in the areas around
Tetachuk and Eutsuk Lakes, with a major village site near the Redfern
Rapids.
