what to expect

In March 2015, the park was renamed to reflect the traditional Okanagan First Nation name.

Located just above the Okanagan River, cool deciduous trees provide a contrast to the parched hills above. This oasis is famous among naturalists for its superb bird watching, wildlife viewing, nature study, photography opportunities and a variety of bats.

A lovely array of colours occurs in autumn. The diverse recreational opportunities will please nature lovers, campers and fishing enthusiasts alike. The park is a popular base camp for cyclists and climbers.
