Canim Beach Provincial Park, Provincial park in Cariboo Regional District, Canada.
Canim Beach Provincial Park lies along the southwest shore of Canim Lake, featuring a pebble beach backed by mature Douglas-fir forest. The park provides access points for swimming, fishing, and paddling on the water.
Canim Beach Provincial Park was established by Order-in-Council in 1956, when it covered about 6 hectares. Legislation in 2000 and again on 17 May 2004 enlarged it to roughly 8.2 hectares, split between 3.6 hectares of upland and 4.6 hectares of foreshore.
The park's name comes from Chinook Jargon and refers to large canoes, a reflection of the lake's traditional use. The location borders Secwepemc First Nation territory, and this proximity shapes the regional character.
The park sits about 43 kilometers northeast of 100 Mile House and is accessible by car. Swimmers should be aware of the sudden depth change in the lake, which requires caution when venturing into deeper water.
The park is split into two sections by a road running parallel to the shore, with 3.6 hectares of upland and 4.6 hectares of foreshore. It lies beside the Secwepemc reserve community of Canim Lake, and the much larger Wells Gray Provincial Park borders the same lake.
