osm inside Bear Creek Parkwhat to expect
Truly a natural wonderland, Bear Creek Park is in the Central Okanagan Basin on the west side of Okanagan Lake. The park features lakeside camping, over 400 metres of sandy beaches and five kilometres of spectacular, well-marked hiking trails. A picturesque canyon has been carved into the bedrock by Bear Creek tumbling onto a cottonwood-lined delta. This park is extremely busy during the summer season and reservations are required to camp here. For your convenience, during the summer season, the park has a concession located at the gatehouse and managed by the park operator .
