Beaumont Provincial Park is aprovincial park located at the southeast end of Fraser Lake, betweenFort Fraser and the town ofFraser Lake, British Columbia, approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) west ofVanderhoof, British Columbia. The park contains the site of the originalFort Fraser.
Facilities in the park include campsites, a boat launch, a day picnic area, a swimming beach and a sani-station.
There is a 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long trail up Mount Fraser that starts across the highway but still within the Beaumont park boundary. At the top is an old forest service tower that provides a clear view of the surrounding area. Some of the steepest sections of the trail once made up a small ski hill, which operated in the late 60s and early 70s, complete with a rope-tow. It takes an estimated 3 hours to ascend the mountain. The trailhead is located between the park entrance and Piper's Glen Resort.
