Great place to sneak away with the family. Big or small any group can enjoy this beautiful hideout! You can not go wrong exploring what the cliffs have to offer.
We came down here to see the Kokanee Salmon after my boss suggested it. This place is really neat. The bench area is pretty as well. You can see the fish over the bridge or you can go down to the water.
The whole area is quite interesting and has an abundance of wild life including spawning salmon. You can see them right from the bank of the creek as they are a bright orange.
This was a beautiful and well kept area for a place to eat out with my wife. Enough space for large gatherings as well.
