• Park gates at the entrance to Walloper Lake will be closed occasionally during the winter of 2007-2008 to allow work crews to safely fell dead Lodgepole pine trees. Please avoid the day-use area when crews are working and do not block the gate as work vehicles may need access at any time.
• Public access will remain open during weekends and holidays, and as much as possible during other times. Please contact the Area Supervisor at 371-6272 if you require further information.

Special Notes:

The nearest public telephone is at Lac Le Jeune Park, 2 km away.

• Location Map

• History - In 1987, coinciding with the opening of the Phase 2 (Merritt to Kamloops) section of the Coquihalla Highway, the Land Act Reserves (UREP) on Walloper Lake were converted to provincial Class A Park status. Prior to that time Walloper Lake had been managed as a Forest Recreation site, but the strategic location of the site led to interagency agreement that it would be ideally suited to eventually serve tourist day use travel needs on the Coquihalla Highway while retaining regional day use opportunities.
  
  With concerns that the close proximity of the highway would lead to overloading of the site with transient use, the new park site was closed to camping and travellers were instead directed to use the Lac le Jeune campground. Since that time, the park has been managed as a low profile day use facility, catering mostly to regional use.
  
  
• Conservation - A small lake, surrounded by open lodgepole pine, spruce and fir forest.Partial representation of montane spruce forests and plateau lake setting of the Southern Thompson Uplands Ecosection; Park boundaries encompass much of the natural shoreline and upland around lake.
