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 sandy beach curves along the edge of a calm lake, one of the areas most tranquil beaches, bordered by dense green pine trees and hills in the background under a hazy sky. Gentle waves lap onto the shoreline.

B.E.A.C.H. - Best Escape Anyone Can Have!

Spread your beach blanket in a secluded riverside cove, or on a broad, sandy beach. This is how we unwind, Boundary Country style. A beach-side getaway builds family connections and warm summer memories that last the whole year through. Come and discover why people say time spent waterside in Boundary Country is as restorative as any day at the spa.
