Erie Creek Park protects a mature cedar-hemlock forest and riparian black cottonwood ecosystem along the northern banks of Erie Creek. Despite the park’s small land base (15 hectares), it provides an essential wildlife corridor for large mammals. In addition, Erie Creek retains healthy populations of both rainbow and introduced brook trout.
The park was formerly a day-use area, however, constant flooding and the resulting damage to facilities prompted BC Parks to close the site. Currently, the park is unsigned and deactivation of the entrance road and parking area discourages day-use.
BC Parks honours Indigenous Peoples’ connection to the land and respects the importance of their diverse teachings, traditions, and practices within these territories. 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.
