Peterson Creek Nature Park

Highlight • Canyon

Peterson Creek Nature Park is a beautiful natural area in Kamloops, with rugged hillsides, sagebrush grasslands, and shaded creekside trails that create a surprisingly peaceful setting close to downtown. There is a network of walking paths that wind through the canyon, crossing bridges and climbing to viewpoints overlooking Peterson Creek, with seasonal waterfalls and plenty of varied terrain adding to the scenery. The mix of dry grasslands, forested sections, and flowing water gives the park a distinct landscape that feels wild, yet it's easily accessible, making it a fantastic place to spend time outdoors.
