Allison Lake Provincial Park, provincial park in British Columbia
Allison Lake Provincial Park is a small park in the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen beside a quiet lake bordered by trees. It contains camping sites shaded by mature Douglas fir trees, a sandy beach on the southern shore, a picnic area with ten tables, and a walking trail that runs about 5.4 kilometers from the camp area to homes at the lake's north end.
The park was established in 1960 and encompasses about 23 hectares of land beside Allison Lake. The area has served as a stopping point for residents and travelers passing between Merritt and Princeton for many years.
The park takes its name from Allison Lake, a small body of water bordered by trees where locals and visitors gather for fishing, swimming, and relaxation. The aspen trees that line the shore hold particular meaning for travelers passing through, especially when their gold foliage marks the changing seasons.
The park sits about 28 kilometers north of Princeton on Highway 5A and is straightforward to reach. There are no showers or stores on site, so visitors should bring enough water and supplies and expect basic facilities like pit toilets and water taps.
The park is known for its aspen trees that turn brilliantly gold in fall, creating a striking seasonal transformation of the landscape. Nearby Stringer Lake offers a more remote experience accessible only by four-wheel-drive vehicle, with snowmobile trails available in winter for a different kind of outdoor adventure.
