Prior to my visit to Strathcona Park, I really didn’t know what to expect. I discovered that Strathcona is the oldest provincial park in BC, celebrating its 100 year trademark this season. I was very impressed by the large variety of activities available for guests, the friendly service from staff, as well as the cleanliness and environmental consciousness of Strathcona Park Lodge
Upon arrival, we received a tour of the area with very informative facts about the cabins, programs provided, and activities available. We were given a list of various recreational activities to participate in; canoeing, kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, zip lining and high ropes. We all decided to try out the zip lines, as well as the high ropes- both were a blast! The guides gave us a step by step demonstration and showed us proper techniques, and supervised us as we made our way through the course up in the trees. After a couple hours of fun, we cooked up some burgers and dogs on the BBQ down by the lake. Later that evening we enjoyed sitting outside on our patio (which overlooked the mountains and water) and also took advantage of the lovely sauna, and large fire-pit area down by the water!
Overall this trip was wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone who has not been to the area and is seeking to take part in some outdoor adventure. This is a park that is suitable for all demographic groups of all ages (families with children, couples, group of friends etc.). Well done and thank you very much Strathcona Park Lodge!
