About this park
The park was created April 30, 1996 as a result of recommendations made in the Kamloops Land and Resource Management Plan. The park will be managed according to the Management Direction Statement for Eakin Creek Floodplain Park.
This park contains a valley floodplain with large old red cedar and cottonwood, and other bottomland species such as red-osier dogwood, devil club, lady fern and oak fern. Douglas fir, pine grass, soapberry and mahonia find habitat on the north and south slopes. Extensive talus slopes contain ice caves and rock outcrops. Eakin Creek provides habitat for wild stocks of rainbow trout.
Well-established wild trout stocks are found in Eakin Creek. The old growth trees provide habitat for a variety of cavity-nesters including bats. Warblers and American dippers are also found here.
