Conkle Lake Provincial Park
About this site
This secluded park is found in the Okanagan Highland east of Osoyoos. Set amid a forest of mainly western larch and lodgepole pine that cover the surrounding hills. Conkle Lake, named for W.H. Conkle, an early settler in the nearby Kettle Valley. The lake is noted for its rainbow trout. Visitors have come for many years to fish as well as swim and hike to various viewpoints. The large beach and cold, clear water of Conkle Lake make it a good place for swimming. There are no buoys to mark the swimming area. There are no lifeguards on duty in BC Parks. There are canoeing and kayaking opportunities at this park enhanced by the motorboat size restriction. Conkle Lake is a destination for fishing as it is stocked with rainbow trout fry by the Summerland Trout Hatchery. The 3 km long lake is framed by steep hillsides and fed by East Creek. Conkle Creek drains the lake and eventually joins the Kettle River. Additional Info: 34 rustic campsites with pit toilets and running water. Roads in the campground are gravel. The park is maintained during the main camping season and while camping is permitted year-round, access is very difficult.
