Tsutswecw Provincial Park

Beautiful place to walk ride your bike and bring your kids/dogs. Both the upper and lower trails give breathtaking views of the water and on the lower you can go out to the river mouth and fish or spend a day on the large beach. Have found some Geocache items there as well over the years.

Amazing location for families as well as individuals, nice trails and it’s good for biking and hiking, salmon run in FALL, shallow/ deep water perfect for FISH and RELEASE (before you pack the fishing rod make sure you have proper information about fishing there). Dogs should be in leashes and no quad bikes or ATVs, also please DO NOT touch any plant which looks strange because there are a lot of POISON IVYs. Plenty of benches to relax and good for seniors, you can also get a professional guide tour about the place, salmon’s life cycle and why this place for the final stage for salmon. Plenty of parking and staffs are really helpful and have plenty of knowledge about the place.

Bald eagles and sockeye salmon to photograph. Autumn leaves litter the trails. Perfect temperature. A few drops of rain. Well maintained trail. Many helpful historic and cultural signs. Easy, enjoyable walk with scenic vistas.

We went there 2 days ago. You can see some Salmon, but still not a lot yet due to the water temperature is still high as 15°c measureed the day before we were there. The best water temperature is between 8-10 degree. So hopefully as the weather gets colder there will be more Salmon to see. There are 2 kinds of Salmon in the river now. One is sockeye with red color. The other one is black and bigger Salmon, I forgot what is it called. The "Salute to the Sockeye" event is taking place now on the dominant year of the four-year cycle. It opens from 8:30am - 4:30 pm daily, and it will run till October 23rd this year. There are food trucks and displays. Lot going on in the parking lot.

Went on Oct 18, saw some Salmon, a lot of them are dead but still very impressive to see!You can see from the platform and if you turn left and keep going, you will reach a open beach that has a better and clearer view of Salmons, it’s very beautiful definitely recommended for this quiet nice park!

Amazing trails to hike, a few steeper areas but overall easy and beautiful to walk. The sound of the creek and waterfalls surround you while you hike and the historic signs are neat to read. Will be back for sure :)

Day use provincial park with an insane amount of parking. Three easy hike trails and going in Late August or September and you will probably see the sockeye salmon.

The closest you can get to seeing salmon spawning. There are some secret not so secret trials. Just follow the people off the beaten path. I only wished there was more to just salmon watching after driving an hour past Kamloops. Road trip!
