Nickel Plate Provincial Park

Nickel Plate Provincial Park is a protected area in the Okanagan-Similkameen region that surrounds a mountain lake with sandy shores and forested terrain. The park features open spaces along the water and tree-covered slopes that frame the natural setting.

The area was established as a park in 1938 under its original name, Clearwater Park, as part of British Columbia's early efforts to protect natural spaces. Later designation brought it into the provincial park system as part of the region's conservation growth.

The Nordic Centre within the park maintains 39 kilometers of trails, reflecting the region's commitment to winter sports and outdoor recreation.

The park is accessible by road and has a boat launch facility at the north end of the water. Plan your visit during warmer months when trails and water activities are most accessible.

The park's classification under IUCN category II places it among protected areas dedicated to ecosystem preservation and recreation purposes.
