Inkaneep Provincial Park is a provincial park near Oliver, British Columbia, Canada, located just south of the town of Okanagan Falls.[1] The park contributes to the protection of critical riparian values on the Okanagan River. The park is popular with naturalists, particularly bird-watchers. First Nations have identified the river and riparian area of the park as very important contributor to the long-term viability of the Okanagan River salmon run.
The park's current primary purpose is to protect riparian habitat along the Okanagan River. The park consists of 2 separate areas:[2]
- One area straddles a 750-metre section of the Okanagan Flood Control right of way
- The other lies on the east side of Tuc-El-Nuit Road, abutting the Osoyoos Indian Reserve No. 1.
Park users should use caution when hiking around this park; poison ivy is abundant in this area.
Rare species
Inkaneep Provincial Park has important conservation values including: Lewis' woodpecker and sockeye salmon habitat, and yellow breasted chat, three-awn grass, old growth black cottonwood and antelope brush, one of the four most endangered ecosystems in Canada.[3]
