Sẁiẁs Provincial Park, Provincial park on Osoyoos Lake in British Columbia, Canada

This 38-hectare park extends as a narrow peninsula into Osoyoos Lake, offering 41 campsites along its shoreline and natural landscapes for outdoor activities.

Established as Osoyoos Park in 1939, the site was renamed to Haynes Point Provincial Park in 1962 after John Carmichael Haynes, a 19th-century magistrate.

The name Sẁiẁs, given to the park in 2015, originates from the Okanagan language and indicates a narrowing point in the waters of the lake.

The park maintains operating hours from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM throughout the year and accommodates RVs up to 30 feet in length at its camping facilities.

Archaeological excavations in the park revealed ancient remains dating back 1,224 years, which were reburied to preserve their historical significance.

Location: Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen

GPS coordinates: 49.01530,-119.45300
