Blanket Creek Provincial Park & Sutherland Falls
Blanket Creek Provincial Park
A provincial park on the shore of Upper Arrow Lake, with a short trail to Sutherland Falls, a man-made lagoon good for summer swimming, and a very popular campground.
Blanket Creek Provincial Park is on the east shore of Upper Arrow Lake, beside Highway 23 about 25 km south of Revelstoke. It was once the farm of early settlers, and old fruit trees can still be seen in the park. From the parking lot, a forest path of about 10 minutes leads to Sutherland Falls, where water pours down the rock face and the spray feels refreshing. The park has a man-made lagoon and beach with relatively warm water, good for family swimming in summer. The large campground next to it is one of the most popular in the area and must be booked in advance through the BC Parks website. Day use is free. It can be combined with Begbie Falls and Williamson Lake into a half-day tour of the south side of town.
