Warnings:
This is protected sensitive riparian habitat. Please stay on the designated trail and respect seasonal closures due to nesting and flooding. Dogs are only allowed on the main trail and must be kept on a short leash (max 2 m) at all times to prevent impact to the surrounding nesting habitat. Dogs are not allowed off the main trail on any of the viewing decks or Christmas Island. No dogs are allowed on the main trail during the critical nesting season between May 1 and June 30 each year.

About

Wide paths, boardwalks, and a viewing platform for excellent bird watching in one of the province’s premier migratory estuaries, plus a side trail out to Christmas Island for fine views of the bay and waterfowl; it doesn't get any better or more beautiful than this. Be sure to review the dog access rules and monitoring program to help protect this very special area. Part of the Salmon Arm Nature Bay Trails.
