Kikomun Creek Park
exclusive access
Located in a dry and sunny area of the province, this park preserves an example of interior Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine forest and grassland habitat. Paved roads within this family oriented park are conducive to biking.
Please visit the park website for more details: https://bcparks.ca/kikomun-creek-park/
Visitors are asked to only enjoy viewing the painted turtles. Because the survival rate of these turtles is low, it is crucial that they be protected in the park and treated with respect by visitors. It is an offence to disturb, abuse, or remove turtles from the park.
Special instructions
New research at Kikomun Creek Park starting soon
Starting on June 12 or 13, through to approximately June 20, contractors from Tannas Conservation Services & Palouse Rangeland Consulting will be installing 8 research sites throughout Kikomun Creek Park supporting a project to monitor the impact and interactions of prescribed burning and herbicide application on invasive species in the park. These research sites will be in place for several years and will include minimal research infrastructure (metal pegs and pins) that may be visible to park visitors. The intent of the project is to determine the best possible management of invasive species while supporting ecosystem restoration actions. There will be signage indicating the location of the research sites. Please DO NOT DISTURB these sites.
For more information please contact the BC Parks Conservation Specialist at (250) 420-6285.
