Welcome to the Provincial
Parks of the Central, South & Boundary Regions of the
Okanagan in beautiful British Columbia Canada! |
|
|
This
family oriented park provides a natural forest setting
for excellent recreational opportunities for all ages
alike. Kettle Valley Railway runs through the park and
forms part of the Trans Canada Biking Trail. In the
summer, you will find small sandy beaches, excellent
canoeing, kayaking or inner tube riding down the river.
If you decide to walk parts of the historic Kettle
Valley Railway, the bridge across the river is still
intact. Bicycling and/or taking a walk are excellent for
the family on the parks level roadways.
