Kettle River Recreation Area, Provincial recreation area in Rock Creek, Canada
Kettle River Recreation Area is a 179-hectare site with a public beach on the Kettle River, surrounded by mature cottonwood and pine forests. The grounds include distinct zones for swimming, hiking, and enjoying the river.
Gold discoveries in the late 1800s brought activity to the valley. The Kettle Valley Railway later operated through this region until the 1970s, leaving its mark on the landscape.
This place serves as a gathering spot for locals who care about the environment and work together on conservation efforts. You will notice people using the area to connect with the river and its natural surroundings.
The site has camping facilities with toilets and running water, plus picnic tables and designated swimming and hiking areas. Most facilities are easy to access for family visits.
An old railway bridge has been converted into a walking path that is part of the Great Trail of Canada. This bridge offers visitors wide views across the river valley.
