Through most of its course it is enclosed by the Babine River Corridor Provincial Park which abounds in black bears and grizzly bears. It is famous in fishing circles as the home of some of the largest rainbow trout and steelhead in the world. Babine River is a famous whitewater run for kayakers, canoeists and rafters.
