Peterson Creek Park — Attraction in Kamloops

FUN! I have ALWAYS wanted to hike up in these trails, constantly driving on the Red Bridge looking in awe at the trails & people enjoying, but in all of my years never have until now. I was happy to be able to do so with my family as well. It wasn’t the easiest drive, at least the way google GPS took me, but we got there & tons of parking! We went for the waterfall, so we followed trail markers leading to it. We did ignore the signs of warning & knew the risks. We took the “easiest/safest” route & made it safely to/from. We were not disappointed & I am sure would be greater in size around spring, early summer. Definitely a lovely hike & easily managed by myself, my husband who is seeing impaired & our girls 10 & 12. We took one way to the falls & a different way back. All views lovely & we enjoyed the diversity of the vegetation we walked through. So glad we took the time. From parking lot to falls & back, 1 hour. Well maintained & super tidy. Graffiti is disappointing to see but what can one do. Enjoy your hike, be mindful of dangers & make choices appropriate to...

I use the new peterson creek paved pathway nearly every day in October. Yesterday after work I was going down hill, and on the straighter bottom third, these two big dogs/wolves who were off their leash attacked me from out of nowhere. I turned around and ran like hell back up the hill, one of them tried to leap at me but I was able to avoid, and they must have stopped the chase. I was gassed, but made it to the top of the hill and out. Plus side: workouts are never better than when you're running for your life. But I wont be using this again if they allow attack dogs off leashes. It's too bad, as most times when I use it, there's no one else in sight....

Peterson Creek Park deserves a solid 5-star rating for its proximity to downtown Kamloops and its wonderful trail options. Although the parking is limited, the park offers numerous well-marked, winding trails that are perfect for exploring.
