Parks & Trails

Roam Free

From the shores of Christina Lake to the peaks of Granby Park, Boundary Country’s parks and trails offer space to roam, relax or explore. Walk historic rail routes, snowshoe alpine loops or unwind in a riverside campground. With hundreds of kilometres of connected trails and natural spaces, this is the BC outdoors at its most welcoming.

Activities

Ride or walk the iconic Trans Canada Trail along the Kettle Valley and Columbia & Western Rail Trails. Camp at Christina Lake or hike to Cascade Falls. Explore Granby Provincial Park’s wilderness, visit Jewel Lake for paddling and ice fishing or spot wildlife in Gilpin Grasslands. With family-friendly paths and a deep backcountry, there’s a trail or park for every pace or activity level.

A group of people enjoy a sunny day boating on a sailboat and small inflatable boat on a scenic lake, surrounded by forested hills under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.

Whatever Floats your Boat

There are a lot of ways you can make a splash. Gather the clan for a pontoon or speedboat ride. Glide across our lakes in style on a SUP, paddling to your heart’s content. Explore the way voyageurs once travelled and paddle your kayak or canoe on our rivers. The choices are practically endless.

Know Before You Go

Safety and Regulations: Trail surfaces vary - rail trails are gravel-packed while mountain routes may be rugged. Parks like Gladstone, Conkle Lake and Kettle River Rec Area offer seasonal amenities. Respect wildlife corridors, obey campfire rules and check for closures or trail updates. Visitor centres provide maps, conditions and local advice to help you plan.
