Hole in the Wall Provincial Park: A Hidden Treasure
by Sheri Connolly
Skunked the previous day from finding Hole in the Wall Provincial Park, my work partner and I grabbed GPS coordinates and a detailed description of the road’s bends from a supervisor and set off to slalom through coal, logging and other quad-laden pickups down the Sukunka Forest Service Road.
Straight stretch, bend, culvert. Ah hah! Throwing our pickup into park, we leaped out and  bounded up the now-obvious and admittedly well-trodden trail with cameras and empty water bottles in hand to the spring at the base of a blue-gray rock wall. Lush vegetation surrounded the feature as spring water bubbled up from underground caves.
Devil’s club tickled our bums, moss covered rocks threatened to send us swimming, the sheer size and volume of water was overwhelming as we stooped to fill any empty vessels we could find in our truck.
Established in 2000 and unfortunate victim of BC Parks, Hole in the Wall’s resurgence spring emerging from a limestone wall is not signposted aside from a well-hidden, faded, brown Provincial Park Boundary sign kilometres and kilometres ahead of the 40 meter trail at 50.5 kilometer off the potholed Sukunka, a mere 25 kilometer drive south of Chetwynd, British Columbia on Highway 29.
As summer plans are being solidified, consider a visit to B.C.’s Peace country. Dinosaurs, waterfalls taller than Niagara, outstanding hiking, superb fishing and hunting, and hidden, hard-to-reach-but-worth-the-effort gems like Hole in the Wall are waiting.

Holes in the walls like these are often better than more famous locations. For one you get to enjoy the peace and quiet without all the tourists.

While waiting for help, the homeowner may call their insurance provider
to inform them of the problem and inquire if it’s part of the coverage. A study in the British Medical Journal found a significant connection between a person”. Clean your gloves with lukewarm water and squeeze out the excess water.

Twenty five percent space of the town is under the green cowl
that makes this city additional viable and recent particularly within the monsoon season.
Whereas some cameras will auto-focus while doing video, others do not which is something else to consider.
Make sure you get a decent resolution LCD with any camera
in this category.

The mini spy pen camera is available in 4GB, 8GB and 16 GB for regular use as per requirement of the customer.
Waiting until the park is about to close is one way to get some privacy, as is visiting the park
during Disneyland’s less busy times.

We turned on the wireless connection on both and
checked that they could connect to the internet and worked at a decent pace.
As you progress to the next higher level, the game becomes tougher.
At the impressive number one spot is the Superpad 10.

We live in the area for the past 8 years, I stumble upon your site, and the description of the park sounds lovely, we are going to pack our bags and go….
We never venture that route, we thought only big trucks with radios can go over the Susunka, some one told us if we tag along a truck with a radio is also fine….
