The Mount Edziza Recreation Area was a recreation area in Cassiar Land District of northwestern British Columbia, Canada, located southeast of the community of Telegraph Creek.[1] It was established on 27 February 1972 along with Mount Edziza Provincial Park.[1][2] Initially, the 101,171-hectare (249,999-acre) recreation area formed a 1-to-10-kilometre-wide (0.62-to-6.21-mile) buffer zone around much of the provincial park.[1][3]
About 96,770 hectares (239,100 acres) of the Mount Edziza Recreation Area was annexed into Mount Edziza Provincial Park on 21 March 1989, greatly reducing its size to around 4,000 hectares (9,900 acres).[1][3] By this time only a small portion of the recreation area was located east of Mount Edziza.[4] On 19 March 2003, the Mount Edziza Recreation Area was disestablished to allow resource development on the Spectrum mineral claims.[1][3][5]
