Thacker trail and bridges over spawning channel - D. Driediger photoThis park is located in Hope near Kawkawa Lake. One of the main attractions at this nine hectare park is the spawning and rearing channels created in 2001 for coho, pink, and chum salmon. Beginning in October, these salmon return to spawn in the Park's spawning channels and provide excellent viewing opportunities. Pink salmon return in September in odd numbered years (2011, 2013, 2015...) The Park's 1 km long trail is easy for all ages and is part of the Trans Canada Trail which leads to the Othello Tunnels to the east. Facilities include interpretive signs and an outhouse.
