Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park, Provincial park near Kelowna, Canada

This 110-square-kilometer wilderness area encompasses mountain terrain, spruce forests, and 20 miles of Okanagan Lake shoreline in British Columbia.

The park, established in 1973, contains First Nations pictographs on rock outcrops and served as a training ground for Chinese-Canadian soldiers during World War II.

The land holds traces of Syilx and Nlaka'pamux nations' presence, dating back 8,000 years with evidence visible through rock art and traditional sites.

Six marine campsites along the shore are accessible by boat, while hiking trails spanning the park allow exploration of three named mountains and multiple lakes.

A 2003 wildfire transformed the landscape, creating new ecological conditions that now support diverse wildlife including mountain goats, lynx, and white-headed woodpeckers.

Location: Regional District of Central Okanagan
