Lockhart Beach Provincial Park

Lockhart Beach Provincial Park extends from the sandy shoreline of Kootenay Lake to the headwaters of Lockhart Creek, encompassing forest areas and camping grounds.

The park's establishment in October 1933 marked the beginning of public recreational access to this section of Kootenay Lake's southern arm.

The Regional District of Central Kootenay maintains this natural space as part of British Columbia's commitment to preserving public access to waterfront areas.

The park contains 18 camping sites operating from May to September, with facilities including drinking water pumps, pit toilets, and a 12-vehicle parking area.

The beach features a combination of sand and fine gravel, creating the only easily accessible public camping location along Kootenay Lake's southern section.
