BC Parks inside Jimsmith Lake Parkwhat to expect
This 35 site campground situated among a lakeside Douglas fir and larch forest, is a peaceful and welcome retreat near the city of Cranbrook. The campground was rebuilt in 2001 to accommodate recreational vehicles. Sunbathing, swimming, non-motorized boating and picnicking are popular activities at Jimsmith Park. The day-use gates are open from 8am to 10pm. This is the perfect setting for nature study and wildlife viewing. In winter, the park is transformed into a snowy playground for tobogganing and ice skating.
