| Fisherman's
Memorial Park is a restored park ideal for launching
boats and for road weary travelers to pull in for a lunch break
while enjoying some river views and marine activity. Fisherman’s
Park is separated by the Kalum River forming
two distinct parks, one on each side of the river - both within
the community of Terrace , British Columbia, Canada.
The park has gone through some changes due to the
desire by the local fishing community to spruce it up and offer
more amenities. Today, the park includes out houses, viewing benches,
a picnic table and a new boat launch. The park was dedicated to
a local fisherman named Trevor Wayne Olson by the volunteer group
responsible for the park improvements.
The east side of the park has a large parking lot
for boat trailers. there is an information board posted with local
warnings and alerts. But ... there is no overnight camping or
parking permitted in this portion of the park.
Kitsumkalum Fisherman’s Park is a twin
park located on the west bank of the Kalum River across from the
above mentioned Fisherman’s Park. This park also enjoys
a large parking area but allows overnight camping for a fee for
self-contained campers.
