Vaseux Protected Area was established to provide increased representation of the Southern Okanagan Basin ecosection. The area also protects a number of blue and red listed species and their habitat, as well as protecting important sheep habitat.
This area is contiguous with several lands already protected for conservation purposes thereby forming a signifacant conservation area.
Established Date: April 18, 2001
Park Size: 2,015 hectares
The protected area is open to hunting. For more details, see the BC Hunting and Trapping Regulations synopsis. Horses are permitted, but off-road vehicles are not permitted in the park.
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.
