Some of the most outstanding views
Only 51 minutes away from Liard Hot Springs Lodge and RV Park, Muncho Lake Park has the serenity and seclusion expected in this area of the north. Some of the most stunning natural landscapes can be viewed at this park. Spectacular mountains, bountiful wildlife and brilliantly colored wildflowers are just a few of the wonders to discover here.
In the southern portion of the park, you will see the very impressive Folded Mountain towering above the road. Tectonic deformations have bent the limestone giving these mountains their unique appearance. Further along the highway you will have the opportunity to travel across the alluvial fans. Keep an eye open for moose which frequent the many swamps within the park.
