Edge Hills Provincial Park is aprovincial park inBritish Columbia,Canada, located west of the town ofClinton.[1] The Edge Hills flank the wall of theFraser Canyon north ofMoran Canyon and form a small fore-range between the river and the higherMarble Range just east. Access to the Edge Hills is via the Jesmond Road, which cuts north off the Pavilion Mountain Road atKelly Lake. A spur road from the Jesmond Road west goes to an overlook atop the Edge Hills, known as Cougar Point.
Edge Hills Provincial Park is renowned for the spectacular sights of river canyons, forests, and grasslands. This diversity in landscape and vegetation is home to numerous wildlife species.[2]
Edge Hills Provincial Park is undeveloped. The wildlife in the park flourishes in part because of this. Although the park offers hiking, horseback riding and wildlife viewing opportunities, most of the trails are unmarked and not maintained. Visitors have more facilities for camping in the nearby parks such as Big Bar Lake, Downing, and Green Lake Provincial Parks.[2]
