Norbury Lake Provincial Park

Norbury Lake Provincial Park is a natural area in the Kootenay region with a lake surrounded by mountain ranges of the Rocky Mountains. The park extends across open water and forested slopes that shape its landscape.

The area was established as a provincial park in 1958 by the Regional District of East Kootenay to protect the natural landscape for public use. This designation preserved the lake and mountain setting for future generations.

The park occupies traditional territory of Indigenous peoples of the Kootenay region who lived on these lands long before its creation.

The park is open to visitors from mid-May to mid-September, with camping sites, boat launches, and hiking trails available. Visitors can reserve in advance or arrive on a first-come basis depending on availability and preference.

The park sits near the Steeples Mountain Range, putting visitors in an area known for diverse wildlife species. This proximity to the mountain range makes the area an unexpected location for observing animals in their natural habitat.
