Wildlife

Otter Lake Provincial Park is 73 hectares of beautiful parkland.

To the west is the Cascade Mountain Range where impressive canyons with clear streams flowing through them wind their way through the landscape. The surrounding area is home to a wide variety of wildlife including otters, beavers, deer, mountain goats, grizzly bears and cougars.

Nearby are the communities of Tulameen and Coalmont, an area full of mining history and pioneer legend. Indians once used this as a base camp for hunting and trapping and the old Hudson's Bay Company's fur brigade's routes passed through the town. The name Tulameen is an Indian name referring to the red earth (ochre) of the surrounding area.

LOCATION

Turn off of Highway 5A at Princeton onto road #224 towards Tulameen. Follow the paved road 32 km from the main highway junction to the entrance of the park.
