Wrinkly Face Provincial Park, Provincial park in British Columbia, Canada
Wrinkly Face Provincial Park is a protected area in British Columbia north of Winfield featuring basalt cliffs and open meadow landscapes. The park covers 43 hectares and provides views over Okanagan Lake.
The area became a designated provincial protected site in 2004 as part of British Columbia's broader conservation network. This designation reflects efforts to preserve natural ecosystems across the region.
This land held deep meaning for the Syilx First Nations, who hunted here and gathered medicinal plants from the surrounding forests. The Douglas fir woodlands remain central to understanding how Indigenous peoples shaped their relationship with this territory.
The park is accessible via local logging roads, with the Okanagan High Rim Trail serving as the main route through the area. This trail accommodates hikers and those on horseback throughout the park.
The park shelters several uncommon plant species found rarely elsewhere in the region. These botanical oddities make the site particularly valuable for nature enthusiasts and plant lovers.
