& Culture:
- History -
Established on April 30, 1996 as a result of recommendations
made in the Kamloops Land and Resources Management Plan.
- Cultural
Heritage - This location,
with its waterfall and high limestone cliffs, has long been an
important area for native ceremonial, spiritual and
sustenance activities. Rock pictographs and culturally modified
trees are located within the park. The park also contains the culturally
significant 3 Sisters rock shelter. Please do not touch any pictographs
as the natural oils on your skin will cause deterioration of the
colour pigments.

and falls on Oregon Jack Creek. Old-growth Douglas
fir grows
on the steep north slopes, with wetlands and aspen stands along the
creek above the Notch.
- Wildlife - The

both moose and waterfowl in the marsh wetlands of the
western section of the park.
