The great outdoors has never been greater

Dawson Creek is known for its outdoor recreation. Go swimming in man-made Rotary Lake (or do the polar bear swim in the colder seasons if you're especially brave). The only lake of its kind in the Peace Region, Rotary Lake is ideal for RV campers who want to stop for a picnic, play some volleyball on the beach, have a barbecue or enjoy other outdoor activities. Please be aware that there is no lifeguard on duty. There are public washrooms and telephones at the park entrance building, and in summer you can visit the food concession. For more information call 250-782-7144.

Just a short drive from Dawson Creek, you can visit Bear Mountain Community Forest. There are plenty of interpretive trails for those who love to go on nature walks, and the bird watching is unbeatable. There are picnic and bonfire sites along the way, so you can stop and have a bite to eat during your excursion.
