Canal Flats Provincial Park was a 6-hectare provincial park at the divide between Columbia Lake and the Kootenay River in British Columbia's East Kootenay region. It lay at about 820 metres above sea level beside Columbia Lake, in a valley surrounded by forested, mountainous terrain. The land is now Tilley Memorial Village Park.
