Nature
Sun-Oka Beach Provincial Park in British Columbia occupies thirty hectares on Okanagan Lake and was established in 1969 as Claybanks Beach Park. It protects five hundred fifty-eight metres of shoreline and one hundred metres of lake foreshore, while also preserving a small but rare stand of old-growth cottonwood riparian habitat beside Trout Creek. Those cottonwoods and nearby wetland thickets support a variety of wildlife by providing food and shelter for birds, insects, and small mammals. Species recorded there include the northern oriole, warbling vireo, and Lewis's woodpecker, giving the park importance beyond its popular beach setting.
