About this site

Source

This one puts you on the Similkameen River near Hedley, with kayaking, canoeing and swimming straight off the bank.

Camping is $15 a night across 16 first come, first served sites on gravel, and payment is cash only, so stop at a machine on the way.

Hedley is about 5.3 km away and Gold Mountain Service sells fuel at the same distance, so refuelling barely counts as a detour. The Nickel Plate cross country ski trails are about 13.4 km off and Wolfe Lake about 14.6 km.
