Driftwood Canyon is recognized as one of the world’s most significant fossil beds. It provides park users with a fascinating opportunity to understand the area’s evolutionary processes of both geology and biology.

The day-use area is open from May 15 to September 2.

To ensure that future generations may study and learn more about our earth’s history, BC Parks asks for your co-operation in refraining from removing any fossils. The fossils are more valuable in the ground than they are exposed to the elements of erosion, which spoil their scientific and educational values.

Standing directly beneath the cliff face is dangerous. Please do not venture off trails or past the viewing platform.

Interpretive information is available at the parking area and along the short trail to the base of the cliff.
Bring your own drinking water; potable water is not available.
