Ancient Forest is a beautiful old-growth interior rainforest in British Columbia’s Interior.

Nestled in the traditional territory of the Lheidli T’enneh, the park protects a portion of the only inland temperate rainforest in the world. Hiking the Ancient Forest trail will bring you past thousand-year-old western redcedars and a rich biodiversity of plants, mosses, lichens, and fungi.

The 450-meter-long universal access boardwalk provides the opportunity for people with all abilities to experience this majestic area. Another 2.3 km of boardwalk provides access to a magnificent “Big” Tree, Tree Beard, Radies Tree, and a beautiful cascading waterfall.

There is typically no cell signal in this area and watch for abundant wildlife including bear, moose, and deer.
