Park overview
The primary role of Wardner Park is to provide recreational opportunities for local residents on the Kootenay River.
The reservoir, created in 1973 by the construction of the Libby Dam in Montana, stretches for more than 160 kilometres, with approximately one third of its waters residing in British Columbia. The Kootenay River, as it flows by the community of Wardner, is most effected by water levels in the reservoir in summer months.

Pets and 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.
