Lockhart Beach Provincial Park, Provincial park on Kootenay Lake in Central Kootenay, Canada
Lockhart Beach Provincial Park is a nature reserve on the north shore of Kootenay Lake in central British Columbia. The grounds stretch from the sandy beach to the headwaters of Lockhart Creek and include forested areas with camping sites and parking spaces.
The area was declared an official park in 1933, opening public access to this section of lake shore for the first time. Its creation was part of early efforts to protect recreation areas in the region.
The beach draws local people and visitors seeking a quiet place to swim and relax by the water. Easy access makes this spot a popular gathering point for people from the surrounding area.
The beach is easy to access and has plenty of space for vehicles, tents, and various water activities. Visitors should plan their trip between May and September when all facilities are fully operational.
The mix of sand and fine gravel creates an unusual beach structure that swimmers find appealing. This special composition sets the beach apart from other public spots along the lake.
