Martha Creek Provincial Park

Martha Creek Provincial Park is a recreation campground and day use park situated on the shores of Lake Revelstoke.

The provincial park is situated on crown and forestry lands, far removed from the sights, sounds and distractions of the city.

Martha Creek Provincial Park is a destination park with lots to offer. Some of the activities enjoyed when visiting in the park include boating, canoeing, swimming, fishing, camping and picnics. Some stay for a few days in the campground, while others enjoy the lake activities and day use facilities.

The top level of the Day Use Area fronts a large RV friendly gravel parking lot. There are picnic tables on a large grassy field, some under the shade of trees while others sit in the open sun. There is a cooking picnic shelter, a volleyball court and some horseshoe pits.

Below the parking lot is a sandy beach. It is one of the few public access sandy beaches on Lake Revelstoke. On the beach, if you are lucky, are a few lakefront picnic tables with excellent lake views. Also there is a children's jungle jim playground on the beach adjacent to the sectioned-off swimming area.

On the other side of the gravel parking lot is a short dirt road leading down to a paved boat ramp and a wharf. Boaters can tie up their boats or park them overnight in the parking lot. Fishing is a popular activity in these parts. Many come to fish for whitefish, rainbow, kokanee and bull trout.
