Park Glacier is located on the northeast slopes of Mount Baker in the North Cascades of the U.S. state of Washington. Park Glacier descends to the Park Cliffs (6,200 ft (1,900 m)) along its eastern margin while the northern tongue of the glacier descends to nearly 4,500 ft (1,400 m) and is below Park Cliffs and Lava Divide. In the middle of its course, Park Glacier is connected to Rainbow Glacier to the north and Boulder Glacier to the south.
