Canal Flats Provincial Park

The park covers 6 hectares at the divide between Columbia Lake and the Kootenay River, offering a pebbled beach and shaded picnic areas.

Established in 1981 as a provincial park, the land transferred to the Village of Canal Flats in 2009 and became Tilley Memorial Park.

The park received its current name to recognize John and Ann Tilley for their dedication to preserving this recreational space for the community.

Visitors can access the sole public boat launch on Columbia Lake, along with wheelchair-accessible washrooms and protected moorage facilities.

From June through September, the park implements a structured fee system for parking and boat launching, while maintaining free access for local residents.
