Blanket Creek Provincial Park

Blanket Creek Provincial Park is a protected area in the Columbia-Shuswap region that combines forest, waterways, and the striking Sutherland Falls across its landscape. The terrain includes diverse habitats with trails that wind through different vegetation zones.

The park was established in 1982 to protect its natural landscapes and document early settlement in the area. This designation marked an important moment in conservation efforts for this part of British Columbia.

The protected area serves as an educational site where visitors learn about regional ecosystems and the historical relationship between settlers and the land.

The area is accessible from Highway 1 and offers camping facilities with picnic areas, fire pits, and restroom facilities. Visitors should know that conditions vary by season and that basic preparation helps make the most of a visit.

The grounds contain a preserved historic homestead that offers insight into early farming and settlement practices of the area. This remnant shows how early residents worked with the local landscape and its resources.
