About

In the heart of Salmon Arm, a wheelchair accessible paved path, picnic tables, and plenty of opportunity for waterfowl viewing circle this lovely little lake with the City’s trademark fountain. Watch for the painted turtles out soaking up the sun on hot days, and visit the Japanese Friendship Gate, a gift from Inashiki, Japan, Salmon Arm’s sister city. Extend your walk with a visit to the Marine Park and Nature Bay trails via the pedestrian stairway below the BDO Dunwoody Building. Or link east to Turner Creek Trail, the Rec Centre, and Little Mountain Park.
