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.
