Tantalus Provincial Park

History
The mountains where the park now resides have been the home of the Squamish First Nation since time immemorial.

In 1988, the Lake Lovely Water Recreation Area was established for the purpose of protecting the alpine lake area and for providing mountaineering opportunities in the Tantalus Range. The recreation area was greatly expanded and upgraded to a Class A Park on December 19, 1998.
