Browne Lake Provincial Park

Browne Lake Provincial Park is a protected forest area in British Columbia's Okanagan Highland region characterized by Douglas-fir and spruce woodland. The site covers about 50 hectares and provides visitors with access to natural forest landscapes and an adjacent lake for outdoor activities.

The park was established in 2004 to protect the region's forest ecosystems from environmental change. Its creation as a provincial park was part of British Columbia's broader efforts to conserve natural habitats in the Okanagan area.

The park functions as part of British Columbia's conservation network, preserving natural landscapes while offering recreational activities in harmony with environmental protection.

The area is reachable via Highway 33 from Kelowna, with the drive taking roughly 20 minutes. Simple camping spots are available on-site with basic facilities, making the location suitable for both day visits and overnight stays.

The site borders the Browne Lake Ecological Reserve, a separate protected area containing over 100 hectares of wet meadow. This connection creates a larger forest corridor for local wildlife and offers visitors expanded exploration opportunities.
