Arrowstone Provincial Park is a provincial park in the Thompson Country of the Southern Interior of British Columbia , Canada , located to the northeast of the town of Cache Creek . The park was established by Order-in-Council in 1996 with an area of 6203 hectares. In 2000 its boundaries were slightly reduced, such that its area is now 6175 hectares.[1]
The park protects part of the area of the Arrowstone Hills , a dryland forest wilderness also notable for its collection of hoodoos . The name derives from the occurrence in the area of a type of basalt used in the making of arrowheads.[2]
