Kokanee Creek Provincial Park

Kokanee Creek Provincial Park extends across 260 hectares of land, featuring sandy beaches, forested areas, and mountain landscapes along the western shore of Kootenay Lake.

The park area includes Kitto Landing, established in 1912 as a transportation point for ore from the Molly Gibson mine, operated by farmer Henry Richard Kitto.

The park serves as a vital observation point for the annual Kokanee salmon spawning, which occurs in the creek from mid-August to mid-September.

Visitors can access three campgrounds with modern facilities, including showers, washrooms, and a sani-dump station, plus 9.5 kilometers of walking trails from the Nature Centre.

The park functions as a natural corridor connecting the water ecosystems of Kootenay Lake with the mountainous terrain, supporting diverse wildlife populations.
