Granby Provincial Park is a wilderness area popular with hunters, horseback riders and snowmobilers. It is one of the last intact watersheds in the Southern Interior and access is limited. The lower forested drainage of this park includes old-growth stands of cedar and hemlock forest. The lower elevation forests offer hiking and fishing for experienced hikers with good outdoor skills while the grassy meadows at higher elevations offer year-round recreational opportunities and form high quality grizzly habitat.
An existing communications site access road permits access to the top of Mount Scaia along Galloping Creek. There are no regular ranger patrols within the park.
Natural Feature: The intact watershed of the Granby River is a unique feature in the heavily developed Southern Interior. The grassland meadows from an old burn are rare and is valuable as habitat for grizzly bear, deer and elk.
