Coal River Springs Territorial Park
With its extensive limestone terraces created by cool water springs and the rich diversity of life forms associated with year-round flowing water, Coal River Springs is a unique feature of territorial and national significance.
In 1990, a 16 square kilometre area in the southeast Yukon encompassing Coal River Springs was officially dedicated as the Yukon's second Territorial Park and first Ecological Reserve.
Coal River Springs Territorial Park was created through the combined efforts of the Yukon Government, the Liard First Nation and the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
Travel to Coal River Springs Territorial Park
With protection of the reserve as the primary purpose of the park, access continues to be restricted by the difficulties of wilderness travel in an isolated region.
Whitewater canoeists or rafters can line upstream on the Coal River from tributary streams and lakes accessed by floatplane from Watson Lake.
Facilities
The park is small and the tufa formations easily damaged.
A small recreation and camping area 200 metres east of the main formations is provided for visitor use.
Park Management
Coal River Springs does not have a park management plan at this time.
