Lockhart Creek Park

Lockhart Creek Park and adjacent Lockhart Beach Park extend from the sunny shores of Kootenay Lake to the headwaters of Lockhart Creek. This park encompasses one of the few valleys in the region with no roads, and protects a diverse old growth forest. A pioneer trail along Lockhart Creek leads to grand vistas of Kootenay Lake and meanders through the habitat of many species of plants and animals unique to temperate interior cedar hemlock forests. Birdwatchers and wildflower and plant identification enthusiasts will be rewarded by a visit to this area.The Baker Lake trail extends from the eastern boundary of the Lockhart Creek trail and continues onto the Redding Creek Forest Service Road. Multi-day backpackers wishing to access Kianuko Park should be equipped with strong route finding skills and appropriate equipment.
