Jewel Lake Park is 12 kilometres off Highway 3 east of Greenwood, with the last 1.5 kilometres on gravel road. BC Parks describes a wilderness-style camping setting around a lake about three kilometres long.
Jewel Lake Resort sits at the south end of the lake and can provide basic essentials and boat rentals.
Jewel Lake Park is a compact Boundary Country lake destination for camping, quiet boating, and trout fishing. Fly fishing for rainbow trout is a popular activity, and the lake is stocked with both brook trout and rainbow trout from the Summerland Trout Hatchery.
The lake's small size and 10 horsepower boating restriction make it well suited to canoeing and kayaking. BC Parks lists car-top boat launching facilities in the park, swimming without buoys marking the area, cycling on roadways, and winter ice fishing.
The park works well for visitors who want a simple lake base without a large motorboat atmosphere. The nearby resort adds practical support outside the campground setting. BC Parks lists frontcountry camping reservation information for the park.
Plan around frontcountry camping, canoeing, kayaking, fly fishing for rainbow trout, brook trout fishing, car-top boat launching, low-horsepower boating, swimming, road cycling, winter ice fishing, and using Jewel Lake Resort for basics or rentals.
There are no buoys marking the swimming area. Boats are limited to 10 horsepower. Pets must be leashed and kept out of beach areas and park buildings, and anyone fishing needs the appropriate licence.
