Adams Lake Provincial Park, Provincial park in Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, Canada.
Adams Lake Provincial Park consists of three separate areas: Bush Creek Site, Poplar Point Site, and Spillman Beach Site featuring mixed forests and shoreline. The landscape shows diverse wooded slopes descending to the water with varied vegetation patterns.
The Bush Creek Site was established as a Recreation Area in 1988 and designated a provincial park in 1997. The Poplar Point and Spillman Beach marine sites were both established on April 30, 1996. Long before this, the area was settlement and hunting territory of the Secwepemc, and pithouses and other archaeological sites remain in the park.
The park lies in the traditional settlement and hunting territory of the Secwepemc First Nations. Visitors can look for pithouses, a form of dwelling dug into the ground, and other archaeological sites within the park boundaries.
The park sits roughly 30 kilometers north of Chase with multiple access points to the lake for swimming and fishing. Visitors should note that the three sites have separate entrances and offer different activities depending on the location.
The park's three units total 227 hectares: Bush Creek 56, Poplar Point 32 and Spillman Beach 139. Spillman Creek holds wild rainbow trout and may support sockeye salmon spawning. The Bush Creek unit began as a recreation area in 1988 and became a provincial park in 1997.
