Nature
Kentucky Alleyne Provincial Park in British Columbia lies south of Merritt near Aspen Grove and is known for the turquoise waters of Kentucky and Alleyne lakes. Established on March 5, 1981, the 190-hectare park occupies part of a glacially formed landscape of kettle lakes, eskers, fluvial outwash, grasslands, and dry open forest, and is nearly enclosed by Douglas Lake Ranch. It protects portions of both lakes and supports mature Douglas fir, ponderosa pine, aspen, and juniper. Wildlife includes waterfowl, hawks, falcons, Columbian sharp-tailed grouse, and western toads, whose migration has prompted seasonal closures and experiments with underpasses and fencing.
