Downing Provincial Park

Downing Provincial Park stretches across 156 hectares of land in British Columbia, featuring Kelly Lake and views of Mount Bowman in the Marble Range.

The establishment of the park occurred in 1970 when Mr. and Mrs. Clair Downing donated their half-mile of lake frontage property on Kelly Lake.

The park functions as a central location for outdoor recreation in the Cariboo region, where locals and visitors participate in fishing, swimming, and camping activities.

The park maintains 18 campsites in a grassy field near the parking area, operating from May to September with the nearest supplies available in Clinton, 18 kilometers away.

Rainbow trout fishing in Kelly Lake combines with views of the park's natural setting against the backdrop of Mount Bowman, the highest peak in the Marble Range.
