The park is located just east of Mount Gunanoot in the Skeena Mountains of north-central British Columbia. Here the river emerges out from the mountains to flow north through the park and on toward Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park.[3]

The headwaters of the Spatsizi River is located in the traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation.[3]
