We have restored Pine Point Park to protect its natural beauty. Trail and waterfront has stabilised these areas for long-term environmental health and safe, accessible recreation with trail and waterfront improvements. Informal trails along the waterfront and at popular viewpoints had caused erosion and disturbed the habitat.
Please enjoy the park responsibly and respect signs. Leave nothing but footprints behind.
Trails
Approximately 170 metres of new trail were built to improve access and connectivity, and protect the surrounding natural environment.
About half of the new trail network is wheelchair accessible. The accessible trail leads to a floating dock with views of the lake and landscape.
Trails are 1.5 metres wide with a crushed gravel surface. Where possible, we keep existing trail alignments to minimise site disturbance. New trail sections improve circulation and sustainability.
To restore the area, we decommissioned informal trails. We installed fencing and new signs to guide visitors and support the habitat reclamation.
Potentially, the Alpha Lake Valley Trail Project will further connect this area to the rest of the valley.
Waterfront access
We installed a new floating dock and access ramp to provide safer and more enjoyable water access. The design accommodates a range of users while protecting the sensitive shoreline.
Additional improvements
We completed a series of upgrades to improve function, accessibility and environmental protection:
- relocated boat storage and bike racks,
- installed signs to explain the park’s natural values and encourage responsible use,
- adding a new park bench (installation is planned for 2026),
- installed split-rail wood fencing to define environmentally sensitive areas and adjacent private property.
Timeline
This project is complete. Please enjoy the park responsibly and respect all signs.
Funding
This project was funded 100 per cent by the Province of British Columbia’s Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) and did not rely on local property taxes.
