Kettle River Recreation Area, Provincial recreation area in Rock Creek, Canada
The 179-hectare recreation area features a public beach along the Kettle River, with old growth cottonwood and ponderosa pine forests throughout the grounds.
Following gold and silver discoveries in 1887, the Kettle Valley Railway operated through the river valley from 1915 to 1973, connecting the region to British Columbia.
The Kettle River Recreation Area functions as a central gathering point for local communities who organize river clean-up events and environmental protection initiatives.
Visitors can access camping facilities with pit toilets, running water, picnic tables, and designated areas for swimming, hiking, and inner tubing activities.
The recreation area contains a converted railway bridge, now part of the Great Trail of Canada, offering pedestrians panoramic views of the river valley.
