Maps and location
Getting there
Beaver Creek Park is seven kilometres south of Trail on the Old Waneta Road (Highway 22A). The closest communities are Trail, Castlegar, Montrose, and Fruitvale.
Things to do
Beaver Creek Park has one main walking trail along the Columbia River bank from the south end of the campground. The trail is approximately one kilometre long and goes through open grasslands, following a level terrace above the river. This is a popular hike for local nature enthusiasts.
See the Beaver Creek Park map for trail details.
For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Taking shortcuts destroys plant life and soil structure.
Due to the size and swift current of the Columbia River as it runs through Beaver Creek Park, canoeing and kayaking should only be attempted by those with extensive experience.

Rainbow trout and Walleye are common species in the section of Columbia River running through Beaver Creek Park. Whitefish are also present. Brook trout are found in Beaver Creek itself.
Anyone fishing in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. To learn more, see the fishing and hunting guide.
Viewpoints are located along the Columbia River, which offer good wildlife viewing opportunities.
Pets must be leashed at all times and they are not allowed in the day-use area. You are responsible for your pet’s behavior and must dispose of their excrement.
Bicycles are restricted to roadways in Beaver Creek Park. They are not allowed on trails. However, there is a secondary road that winds through farm lands next to the park, which can be used by bikes.
In particular, please note that bicycles with electric-assist motors (e-bikes) are not allowed on the trails in this park. E-bikes are restricted to park roads and areas where motorized use is permitted. The only exception is for authorized and identified trail maintenance bikes conducting work on behalf of BC Parks.
Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples

This park webpage may not adequately represent the full history of this park and the connection of Indigenous Peoples to this land. We are working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples to update our websites so that they better reflect the history and cultures of these special places.
