Sir Alexander Mackenzie Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. Located at the mouth of Elcho Harbour on Dean Channel, it enshrines the farthest point west reached by Alexander Mackenzie in 1793 and the rock he marked to commemorate his journey.[2] The park is also the location of a historical First Nations village, with petroglyphs that can be found along the beach.
The commemorative rock was originally inscribed on by Mackenzie using a mixture of grease and vermilion.[3] The words were later inscribed permanently by surveyors.[4]
The Park and monument can only be reached by boat. If seas are very calm, a float plane landing may be possible. There are no facilities at this park. The nearest communities are Bella Coola to the southeast and Ocean Falls to the west.
