Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park and Protected Area

Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park and Protected Area in Coldstream, British Columbia, preserves about 978 hectares along Kalamalka Lake in the Okanagan. The lake is known for vivid blue and green colours that appear as summer approaches, caused by sunlight reflecting off calcium carbonate crystals, while spring and fall temperature changes can create deep blue ribbons across the water. The protected area also preserves a remnant of the natural grasslands that once stretched from Vernon to Osoyoos, along with forest, year-round trails, and two archaeological sites. Its varied habitats support wildlife and make it an important scenic and natural refuge in the North Okanagan.
