George Hicks Regional Park

 Even though July is not the optimal time to see salmon running, a friend and I decided to take a stop at George Hicks Regional Park in Valemount. The little park offers a viewing platform and a little trail for visitors to come and see Chinook Salmon that begin their journey in Vancouver and make their way up the Fraser River and eventually to Swift Creek where the park sits on to spawn. If your not there at the right time of year to see the salmon run it is still a nice place to sit and have a picnic spot, especially in the hot weather. There are even some interpretive signs that will give information about the salmon and then journey that they take. George Hicks is a great spot to visit all summer long.

Kekuli Bay Provincial Park - Vernon

 Kekuli Bay Provincial Park welcomes RVer’s, tenters, and day use visitors.  It’s the perfect spot for a beautiful view of Kalamalka Lake against a backdrop of rolling tree covered hills.  The park was established in 1990 to expand upon its featured boat launch.  Now the park offers 49 campsites each with an array of shade trees, flowering bushes, and an exquisite view of the lake.  As night turns into morning, the rising sun can be seen peaking its head above the hill tops for a brilliant wake-up call.  Take an early morning stroll throughout the park and you will likely be accompanied by some friendly gophers popping in an out of the tall grass.  Kekuli Park is not shy of offering an abundance of activities for all types of outdoor enthusiasts from hiking and cycling, to swimming, canoeing and water skiing to wildlife viewing.  No matter the length of your stay, you’re sure to be dazzled!
