A vast Muskwa Ranges wilderness shaped by glaciers, boreal rivers, and big-game wildlife.
Redfern-Keily Provincial Park
Redfern-Keily Provincial Park is a former protected area in the Peace River Regional District of northeastern British Columbia, Canada, set deep within the Muskwa Ranges of the Northern Rockies. Covering a very large expanse of remote boreal and subalpine terrain, it sits inside the larger Muskwa-Kechika Management Area, one of the most extensive intact wilderness landscapes in North America. The park is anchored by Redfern Lake, a glacier-fed body of water along the Besa River, surrounded by high country that includes the Ithaca and Achaean Glaciers.
Access is extremely limited and traditional backcountry-only, mainly reached by snowmobile, off-road vehicle, or horseback, with off-road vehicles required to weigh under 750 kilograms. The landscape supports free-ranging populations of large mammals, including grizzly bear, moose, caribou, stone sheep, elk, lynx, and wolf, making it a recognized stronghold of northern Rockies wildlife. Named after Bill Keily, a trapper, photographer, and wilderness guide from the early twentieth century, the park represents a quiet, lightly used corner of British Columbia's remote northern wilderness.
