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.

An otter, a charming piece of wildlife, sticks its head above the water with droplets splashing around, holding something in its mouth—possibly food—while swimming in a calm, reflective body of water.

Step into Nature

Visit and experience nature at its finest. Bring your binoculars or camera because you never know what you might see.

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.
