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. View this park's location map to see what cities are nearby.
