Kokanee Creek Provincial Park

Famous for it’s annual run of Kokanee Salmon, visitors during August and September can catch a glimpse of these colourful fish as they spawn and the myriad bird species arriving to feast on the eggs and eventually, the fish themselves. Reported sightings include eagles, mergansers, mallards, gulls along with woodland residents such as Cassin’s Vireo, Hammond’s Flycatcher, MacGillivray’s Warbler, American Redstart, Black-headed Grosbeak and Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
