Lockhart Beach Provincial Park, Provincial park on Kootenay Lake in Central Kootenay, Canada

Lockhart Beach Provincial Park is a 3-hectare provincial park on the east shore of Kootenay Lake, 40 km north of Creston on BC Highway 3A. The highway crosses the park and divides it in two; Lockhart Creek flows through the eastern part. The park has an 18-site campground, a day-use area and a sand and fine gravel beach.

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 park lies on the east shore of Kootenay Lake, and Highway 3A runs through it, splitting it in two. The eastern part is crossed by Lockhart Creek, which also gives its name to the neighbouring Lockhart Creek Provincial Park. The beach is a sand and fine gravel shore where the 18-site campground and day-use area stand.

Highway 3A runs through the park and divides it in two; the eastern half is crossed by Lockhart Creek. The 18 pitches for tents and motorhomes, the picnic area and the simple sanitary facilities sit near the sand and fine gravel beach. The hiking trail to Lockhart Creek climbs about 800 metres over roughly three hours. No lifeguards are on duty.

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.
