Kilby Provincial Park, Provincial park in Harrison Mills, British Columbia, Canada.
Description
Kilby Provincial Park is a protected natural area spanning three hectares along the Harrison River with sandy beaches and numerous camping facilities for recreation. The park offers 35 vehicle and tent camping spaces, pit toilets, picnic tables, fire pits, and a public boat launch.
History
The park was established in 1973 to protect a general store from 1906 that operated continuously by the Kilby family over many decades. Its creation helped preserve this landmark and the early settlement heritage of the region.
Culture
The site preserves early 1900s buildings including a former boarding house and post office that show how pioneers lived in the Fraser Valley. These structures offer a window into the daily routines and community life of that era.
Practical
The park sits directly on the river and is easily accessible by local road, with ample parking for visitors with vehicles. Facilities remain open year-round, allowing use across different seasons.
Did you know?
During salmon spawning season, hundreds of bald eagles gather at the park to feed on the abundant fish. Winter brings migratory trumpeter swans from Alaska that make the river shoreline their temporary home.
