The Stikine River Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia. The park covers a total area of approximately 217,000 hectares (540,000 acres). The main feature of the Stikine River Provincial Park is a portion of the Stikine River known as "The Grand Canyon". This portion of the river is approximately 80 kilometres (50 miles) long and runs through a canyon that has been created from the river cutting through the rock that now forms the walls of the "canyon".
