About the Park

There are 2 kilometres of walking trails at this park. A half kilometre trail leads from the parking lot at the day-use area to the fish ladder. A lookout above the fish ladder has great views of the river and spawning salmon in the autumn. Signs at this point offer information about the fish spawning cycle. The trails continue through the forest. There is also a loop trail that overlooks the river.

Show More

There are 23 non-serviced sites at this campground. They are all set in a mature forest and many sites overlook the river. There are pit toilets located in this campground and a fresh water tap near the entrance. Some of the sites are reservable but there are sites saved for campers without a reservation.

Fires

Show More

Campfires are allowed in designated fire rings provided that a fire ban is not in effect. Firewood is available for purchase in the park. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please do not gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil. It is illegal to burn wood or material from the forest because it is destructive and damages the protected ecosystems within the park.
