Things to do
Hunting is permitted only during lawful game hunting season. Check the Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis for regulations.
Anyone hunting in British Columbia must comply with BC hunting regulations. To learn more, see the fishing and hunting guide.
Facilities
No firewood is available and no fire rings are installed. The gathering of firewood in a park is illegal, so fires should only be used for emergency drying and warming. If a fire is used for an emergency, please keep it small, and ensure it is completely out before you leave. Use a camp stove for cooking.
Campfire bans may be in place. Before lighting a fire, check for bans or restrictions on BC Wildfire Service and on local or Indigenous government websites.
About this park
This location, with its waterfall and high limestone cliffs, has long been an important area for native ceremonial, spiritual and sustenance activities. Rock pictographs and culturally modified trees are located within the park. The park also contains the culturally significant Three Sisters rock shelter. Please do not touch any pictographs as the natural oils on your skin will cause deterioration of the colour pigments.
Established on April 30, 1996 as a result of recommendations made in the Kamloops Land and Resources Management Plan.
Oregon Jack Park protects the limestone canyon and falls on Oregon Jack Creek. Old-growth Douglas fir grows on the steep north slopes, with wetlands and aspen stands along the creek above the Notch.
The area is noted for black bears throughout the park, and both moose and waterfowl in the marsh wetlands of the western section of the park.
Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples
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.
