History

European discovery of the area did not occur until the late 1800s, when trappers, traders and explorers passed through the area. It wasn’t until the building of the Alaska Highway, that the face of Muncho Lake changed dramatically. There are still remnants of the construction features, such as wooden culverts and corduroy roads within the park.

It is believed that the Kaska Athapaskan First Nations camped regularly in the Muncho Lake area.

How is the Landscape of Muncho Lake Provincial Park

In the southern portion of the park, you will see the very impressive geological formations of Folded Mountain towering above the road.

Flora and fauna

Bountiful wildlife can be seen in this park. Moose frequent the many swamps within the park, also cariboo. There is an excellent chance you will see Stone sheep along the highway. Reduce your speed when animals are on or near the highway and pull well of the traveled surface of the road if you are photographing them.
