Accessibility information

Accessibility information is available for this park.

Drinking water
A hand pump is available in the park.  Interior Health has issued a permanent “boil water” advisory on this source.
Campfires

While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act ). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

Picnic areas
This park has one day-use/picnic area located between the camping/day-use parking lot and the end of the lake. The beach is sandy, 100 metres long and has 5 picnic tables, 10 metres from the waters edge. There is an enclosed, heated shelter but no change house, adventure playground, barbeque stands or fire pits. Nearby are 2 sets of pit toilets and a hand pump for water.
Pit or flush toilets
Two sets of pit toilets are available. One set close to the camping/day-use parking lot and one set at the beach.
Hiking
An easy, wide, hard packed 5 km loop trail gently meanders around Nancy Greene lake. You can access the trail from either side of the beach. The trail follows the shoreline, offers lake views and will lead you through a marsh area as well as a mixed forest of pine, spruce, fir and larch. Allow yourself 45 minutes to an hour to complete this relaxing hike. For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.
Swimming

A sandy 100 metre beach provides swimming opportunities, however there is no roped off swimming area. Due to the elevation of the park the water is considered cool.

There are no lifeguards on duty at provincial parks.

Canoeing
There are canoeing and kayaking opportunities with easy access from the beach. Visitors temporarily park and unload at the vehicle turn around. From the turn around it is a short portage to the beach. Belly boating is also popular with local fishermen.
Fishing

Rainbow and cut-throat trout fishing is available in this lake. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. Ice-fishing during the winter season is allowed. Check the BC Fishing Regulations Synopsis for quotas and restrictions.

Power boats are prohibited.

Pets on leash
Pets/domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.
Cycling

Bicycles must keep to roadways. Bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.

Please note that bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) are not allowed on the trails within Nancy Greene Provincial Park. E-bikes are restricted to park roads and areas where motorized use is permitted. The only exception to this policy will be for authorized and identified trail maintenance bikes conducting work on behalf of BC Parks.

Windsurfing
Depending on the winds, there are windsurfing possibilities on the lake.
Winter recreation

This is a popular area for cross-country skiing. There are 5 km of trail but they are not groomed. Outside the park and and surrounding the boundary, a local cross-country ski club maintains tracked trails across from Red Mountain Ski Area adjacent to Rossland.

Ice-fishing during the winter season is allowed. Check the BC Fishing Regulations Synopsis for quotas and restrictions. Power boats are prohibited.
