Goat Range Provincial Park

Goat Range Provincial Park

Goat Range Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada.

The park was established to protect unique species such as the (protected) Gerrard Rainbow Trout (the largest in the world-up to 50 lb) and the distinct subspecies of "White Grizzly" for which the park was first named. There are no facilities in this wilderness park, other than rudimentary trails and backcountry campsites. The park is 879.47 km² in size, and borders Kootenay Lake in the British Columbia Rockies. The area surrounding the park is known for its mining ghost towns from the turn of the century.
