Parks & Trails
The parks systems consists of 27 Regional Parks and 3 Regional Trails. We manage over 580 hectares (1435 acres) of parkland for the public to enjoy.
Parks & Trails Status:
- The Rosebery to Three Forks Regional Trail (Galena Trail) has been temporarily closed effective April 22, 2025 between the cable car crossing and the Three Forks trail head. This closure is due to a significant slough of the riverbank that has affected the integrity of the existing bridge structure.
The RDCK is currently working on a plan to replace the bridge affected by the slough and expects to reopen the trail at the beginning of June. Please respect all trail closure areas, signage and barriers.
