BC Parks inside Kentucky-Alleyne Parkwhat to expect
Wide open spaces, great fishing, wildlife, old west history and a quiet camping spot can all be yours in less than a 90-minute drive from the central Okanagan. In the heart of cattle country, rolling grasslands and dry open forest surround the sparkling turquoise waters of Kentucky Lake and Alleyne Lake. The scenery is spectacular from early April to late October with springs’ palette of soft pastels slowly changing to the vibrant golds of autumn. Once known only to local fishers and their friends, the park is being discovered as a weekend destination from the coast and from the Okanagan. The Coquihalla Highway and the Highway 97C Connector have made the access easier to these beautiful fishing lakes. This is also an excellent spot for viewing small mammals and large bird species.
