  • Boat Launch at Kikomun Creek Provincial Park

Kikomun Creek Provincial Park is a popular well-maintained BC Park alongside Lake Koocanusa. It provides 168 camping sites for tents and RV's within 3 unique areas, either next to the shores of Lake Koocanusa or adjacent to Surveyors Lake. 

Lake Koocanusa is 30 minutes from Fernie and is popular for motorized boating and house boating and Surveyors Lake is non-motorized, both are great for swimming. Located in a dry 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.

The map of the Park (see Related Documents to the right) details the location of the lake and three separate camping areas.

NOTE: Kikomun Creek is a very popular park, if it is full please see other accommodation alternatives in and around Fernie.
