legislature created the park in 1913, the same year as the first ascent of Mount Robson by a party led by Conrad Kain.

The first recreational trail was built in 1913 by Jasper outfitter Donald "Curly" Phillips along the Robson River to Berg Lake.

Robson Visitor Information Centre is open to the public, and is a common stop on the Yellowhead Highway.

The only commercial services within the park are at a combination coffee-shop gas station complex at the same viewpoint.

A dripping spring just west of a pond at Fraser Pass is the actual source of British Columbia's longest river.
