	Stikine River Provincial Park
		Given the drama of the mid-portion of the Stikine, the strong citizen interest in the area and the fact that the hydro dam proposals had been withdrawn, the Wilderness Advisory Committee recommended that the area should be preserved.
		The Stikine River Recreation Area was legislated in the late 1980s, protecting a broad corridor down the Stikine River valley from Spatsizi Provincial Park almost all the way to Telegraph Creek.
		The upstream protected portion of the Stikine River Recreation Area was important because the boundaries drawn for Spatsizi in the early 1970s were done so swiftly and with such limited knowledge that they had missed critical Upper Stikine valley bottom winter range for caribou and moose.

		The river is noted for its prolific salmon runs despite heavy depletion by commercial fish traps during the early 20th century.

		Below, and midway in the river, there is a long, low sand island, and on the point of it, next to us, was encamped a party of Indians, with an enormous thirty-paddle canoe of solid cedar; it was a beautiful model, as are all of the canoes of these Indians.

		Along the way the river plunges into the depths of the Grand Canyon of the Stikine, a raging torrent that flows more than 60 miles (100 kilometers) beneath cliffs of basalt and sedimentary rock rising a thousand feet (300 meters) straight up from the water's edge.
		Below the canyon the river runs wide, cutting through the glaciers and jagged peaks of the coast mountains before finally reaching a pristine estuary where each spring bald eagles gather by the thousands to feast on sparkling runs of smelt.
		While the name Stikine, meaning "great river," comes from a Tlingit Indian word, the Spatsizi region, where author Wade Davis worked as a park ranger, gets its name from a Tahltan Indian word meaning "red goat." The goats are actually coated with red dust that comes from the iron oxide-rich slopes there.
