A primitive ferry at Bella Coola.

The Atnarko River, near Stuie, a clear mountain stream with fast
riffles and deep, still pools, offers splendid sport, with Rainbow and
Steelhead trout up to 15 Ib.

To see the Park properly and really to enjoy its splendid scenery and
the fine sport afforded by this area, the visitor should allow himself at
least fifteen days, and the trip can be made with equal facility in either
direction—that is to say, from Bella Coola to Burns Lake or vice versa.

Here it might be pointed out that, besides being Canada’s largest
scenic park, Tweedsmuir Park is also its newest. It is esentially a
virgin area, where development has not been allowed to interfere in the
smallest degree with the natural beauties. Access is made easy by good
motor-roads, and excellent accommodation is available at its portals,
but in the Park itself there are no amenities; travel is restricted to
saddle and canoe and the accommodation to moving camps. A fifteen-
day vacation within its confines is literally ‘‘a sojourn in the wilder-
ness,” an exhilarating experience to be enjoyed at the time and remem-
bered with enduring pleasure. It is only to lovers of Nature unspoilt
and untravestied that Tweedsmuir Park is likely to appeal. It is to
them that the Park is dedicated, and for them it will hold inexpres-
sible charm and be a source of pure delight.

In this brochure, we have elected to enter from the south and to
take the trail from Stuie.
