[3] Established in 1955, the park covers a total area of 98 hectares (240 acres).A few years after its creation, thousands of non-native trees were planted in the park, especially in barren slopes.The saplings have grown into large trees, filling the area between the highway and the lake, and providing a haven to several bird species.The park's birdlife is also rich with birds such as cedar waxwings, quail, northern shafted flickers, western meadowlarks, hummingbirds and the Lewis's woodpecker.This British Columbia protected areas related article is a stub.
