Stemwinder Provincial Park, Provincial park near Hedley, Canada
The Stemwinder Provincial Park extends over 3.6 hectares along the Similkameen River, featuring pine trees and rocky shorelines for camping and fishing activities.
Archaeological discoveries within the park boundaries, including rock artifacts and pithouse depressions, indicate early settlements of First Nations communities in this region.
The Similkameen people of the Okanagan Nation established trading camps in this area, using the natural resources of the river and surrounding landscape.
The park maintains 28 vehicle-accessible camping sites across two levels overlooking the river, with pit toilets and a hand pump for drinking water near the information shelter.
The park gates open from April through September, allowing visitors to register independently by depositing camping fees in the entrance vault when staff members are absent.
