Lockhart Creek Provincial Park

Lockhart Creek Provincial Park occupies a largely undeveloped valley on the east shore of Kootenay Lake in British Columbia, about 40 kilometres north of Creston, beside Lockhart Beach Provincial Park. Established in 1995, it covers 3,734 hectares and was set aside to protect old-growth cedar and hemlock forest as well as diverse fish and bird life. Its significance also lies in preserving one of the region’s few roadless valleys, making it a relatively intact natural area. Recreation focuses on low-impact backcountry use, including hiking, backcountry camping, fishing and seasonal hunting, and it provides access for multi-day backpackers continuing into Kianuko Provincial Park.
