Geography
Denetiah Provincial Park is composed of a 97,908 hectare Class A Park unit and a 7,441 hectare protected area unit.[2] The provincial park is part of the larger Muskwa-Kechika Management Area, which aims to coordinate the management of Denetiah Provincial Park with 14 other provincial parks and protected areas in the region.[5]
The park protects Dall and Denetiah Lakes, which are long, thin, and glacially-carved. On top of this, the headwaters to the Denetiah and Dall Rivers are also located inside of the park.[6]
