Ellison Provincial Park, Provincial park on the east shore of Okanagan Lake, British Columbia, Canada

Ellison Provincial Park covers about 219 hectares on the east side of Okanagan Lake, south of Vernon in British Columbia: roughly 200 hectares of upland and 19 hectares of foreshore. The land rises to 448 metres above sea level, with coniferous forest around it and the city of Vernon about 15.6 km to the northeast.

The park takes its name from Price Ellison, a British immigrant who arrived in 1876 and helped develop agriculture in the region while serving as Commissioner of Lands in 1909. This naming reflects his importance in the early settlement and economic growth of the Okanagan Valley.

The park's name honours Price Ellison, who settled here in 1876 from Manchester and raised stock and grew wheat. He sat as an MLA from 1898 to 1916 and served as Commissioner of Lands in 1909 and Minister of Finance and Agriculture in 1910 under Sir Richard McBride.

Ellison Provincial Park lies on the east side of Okanagan Lake, about 15.6 km southwest of Vernon, and its land rises to 448 m above sea level. The 219 hectares split into roughly 200 ha of upland and 19 ha of foreshore, so the beach and the forested slopes are reached on foot from the same access.

Otter Bay within the park served as western Canada's first dedicated freshwater diving and snorkeling location. This particular cove draws underwater enthusiasts who want to explore the lake bottom features and water plant life.
