Kingfisher Creek Park | British Columbia

Kingfisher Creek Park is located 15 kilometres southeast of Sicamous. BC Parks says it was established on April 18, 2001, to increase the ecological viability of the existing Kingfisher Creek Ecological Reserve.

The park is a simple protected backcountry area rather than a developed campground or day-use site.

Why Visit Kingfisher Creek Park

Kingfisher Creek Park is for visitors who are comfortable with light infrastructure and regulation-focused planning. Hiking is listed, but BC Parks also says there are no developed trails, so route expectations should stay conservative and visitors should obey signs and avoid damaging plants and soil by shortcutting.

Horseback riding is permitted. Hunting is allowed during open seasons, and anyone hunting must follow BC hunting regulations. Winter recreation is also part of the official page: the Eagle Valley Snowmobile Club operates a groomed winter trail from the valley bottom to the Owlhead cabin just inside the park, with routes continuing outside the park to alpine and subalpine riding areas.

In summer, motorized access into the park is not permitted. Campfires are also prohibited, and visitors must bring drinking water.

Things To Do

Plan around cautious hiking without developed trails, horseback riding, regulated hunting, winter snowmobile access through the club route, wildlife-safety preparation, and reading winter safety and fishing-hunting guidance before travel.

Planning Notes

Potable water is not available. Keep pets leashed, note that backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs, check club information and user fees for winter use, and do not plan summer motorized entry. User fees apply.
