Trepanier Provincial Park, Provincial park in Central Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada
Trepanier Provincial Park is a protected area in Central Okanagan covering roughly 2,900 hectares of forested land. The park centers on Cameron Lake and includes older forest stands alongside areas regenerating from past fire.
Trepanier Provincial Park was established on April 18, 2001, to protect water, biodiversity and recreation values, including the Trepanier Creek drainage. Its Cameron Lake area shows regrowth on the north and west shorelines after a 1970 wildfire and salvage logging.
The protected area maintains ecological zones MSdm2 and IDFdk2, preserving natural habitats of the Southern Thompson Upland region of British Columbia.
The park is accessible by road through various forest routes, with the main access from Highway 97 and Trepanier Bench Road. Visitors should expect varying trail conditions depending on the season and recent weather.
Cameron Lake's north and west shorelines are still regrowing after a 1970 wildfire and the salvage logging that followed. Visitors walking those banks see young stands beside mature forest, a record of the fire written in the trees.
