Scenic hiking destination with railway tunnels built through a granite mountain in the early 1900s.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Othello Tunnels are an absolute must-visit if you’re in the Hope, BC area! This historic and scenic spot is truly one-of-a-kind—former railway tunnels carved through solid granite, connected by bridges over the breathtaking Coquihalla River. The views are stunning year-round, from rushing turquoise waters in spring to the vibrant colours of fall. The walk is easy and family-friendly, making it perfect for all ages. It’s also dog-friendly, so your four-legged friend can enjoy the adventure too. The combination of natural beauty and fascinating history makes it an unforgettable experience. Parking is convenient, and the trail is well-maintained. Whether you’re a photographer, a nature lover, or just looking for a peaceful walk with a bit of history, the Othello Tunnels are worth the trip. We’ll definitely be coming back—it’s a gem you don’t want to miss!

Absolutely stunning🌟!! Beautiful mix of nature and history. It’s short walk from the parking lot (5mins). We visited over the weekend and it was pretty busy, parking gets full pretty fast but there’s plenty of parking alongside the road you can use, if you don’t mind walking a few extra meters!! Tunnels are extraordinary. Walk alongside the canyon, with rushing water - its just beautiful😍 Definitely check them out while they are still Open!!
Harman B — Google review
Beautiful place. Wonderful nature with peaceful sound of the clear water. We could enter three tunnels, or actually 2,5; Halfway the last tunnel was a wall built, with a note with the message repairs are needed on the tunnels so we couldn't go further. Despite it was very worth the (15-20 minute?) stop. It was a very little walk of approximately 5 minutes. (Would have been possible/ accessible with wheelchair I guess.)
Desiree M — Google review
Absolutely gorgeous, it was amazing how the tunnels turn around to fabulous views. It's a nice walk towards the entrance and get dark, better to have some form touch or mobile flash would do. The bridges are quite the catch with the view. There are more tunnels and could walk down the way. Definitely a place to visit!
Praveen P — Google review
Made a pit stop here on route from Vancouver to Sun Peaks and I’m so glad that we did. The tunnels are incredible. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before. The views are amazing. I highly recommend visiting this place from some unique sights and amazing pictures.
AJ H — Google review
This is a really pretty spot for a walk. There is lots of parking although it gets very busy on weekends. It is dog friendly and there are lots of porta potty’s near the parking lot. And there are garbage cans at and closer to the parking lot (please use them). There are educational signs throughout. The tunnels can be wet and dripping inside if it was raining recently. Flashlights can be helpful although each tunnel isn’t super long. Stay on the path and away from the water. The currents are super strong. If someone has an issue with heights it may be difficult for them in some parts. There are a couple of picnic tables and it would make for a great lunch spot if you brought something to eat. The park is closed from November until Spring. Check the site out for specific dates.
Christina B — Google review
The nature here is absolutely beautiful, and it’s a very interesting historical place. This is a great destination for anyone who loves the rich history of our province. I just have a couple of small suggestions: 1. On weekends, it’s really difficult to find parking — there clearly aren’t enough spots, and there are a lot of tourists. 2. There isn’t much historical information available on-site, so I often had to use Google Search to learn more about the place. Other than that, it’s definitely worth visiting!
Aleks Z — Google review
Finally revisited the Othello tunnels since their full re-opening, the restoration crews did a great job. It may only be a short portion of the historic kettle valley railway, but it's beautiful, the tunnels are a little spooky, and everything feels very safe. Don't forget your flashlight, or the flashlight on your phone.

Great rest area. A lot of room can even stay overnight with self contained RV. There are toilets as well as EV charging station and a plaque that explains the history. Unfortunately, people do not put their garbage in the garbage bins so there are some areas that it is a bit of a mess

Last stop on my trip through the Kootenays! Didn't know there was an EV station here. But there are pit toilets! The info on the hope slide is very sobering. The power of nature unleashing itself is just incredible sometimes. There was a lake here????

Unexpected discovery during our roadtrip to Osoyoos this year. We stopped to get some leg rest and found this interesting historical spot. Stop by and visit this place, read about historical events happened here in 1960s. There is parking with EV charging stations, washrooms, and picknick tables with a killer view.

Not much to say here, its a big memorial of a tragic slide and also a marker for a Canadian Air Force plane crash. Thank you to all who serve.

Fascinating piece of Canadian history I knew nothing about until I went for a motorcycle ride and stopped at this place. When you actually see the volume of rock that moved with your own eyes, it is quite humbling. A single rock slide reshaped an entire valley, took out a lake and killed 4 people. Don't fight mother nature is a valid saying; she will win every battle.

SO many talented people in Hope. There are incredible works of art in this gallery. I didn't have much to spend so I purchased 3 ART cards to put on a wall. I can't remember the name of the artist but he/ she has large paintings there as well.

If you are ever in Hope, you must see this art gallery! This gallery exhibits and sells fine art and crafts created by talented local artists. Each rooms displayed different artists hand made works, including paintings, prints, decorative and functional pottery, jewelry, wood, beadwork, fabric, fibre arts and more … lovely and fine ! Gallery artists are also volunteers! You may see them creating their work while you visit. Today I happened to meet the artist Mila. She is awesome! I appreciated her works, especially her paintings, peaceful, sunshine, and inspiring…

Great local art and handicrafts at far too low prices. You can afford gifts for others and something for yourself too...hand made shawls, pottery, paintings, photography, jewelry and more. Worth a trip to Hope. Take in some history, several fantastic hikes and a world class bike park....stay for the weekend!

This is a historic and distinctive landmark that offers a lot of character and charm. The path leading to it is quite flat and easy to walk, making it accessible for everyone. However, I did notice that part of the area is currently undergoing maintenance, so only the front cave is open for exploration at the moment. Despite this minor setback, it’s still a destination worth visiting, as the scenery and the unique features of the landmark make it a memorable experience.

Very impressive tunnels, and also a wonderful story behind them. Well worth the almost 2 hour drive from Vancouver. Went there on Civic Holiday (Aug. 1) 2016 with my family, everyone enjoyed the trip. We arrived around 7:30-8:00 PM, so there were few people and the area was quite tranquil. I suggest going quite early or quite late in the day to avoid the large crowds. The picture was taken from the inside of a tunnel, I forgot which one. Edit: The tunnels have reopened after the floods in 2021 on August 19 2024, I went again on August 25 2024 and the tunnels are open to halfway into the second tunnel. You can see workers working on the rest of the tunnels beyond the fence.
Karl T — Google review
Loved the walk-through tunnels and the surrounding area. A beautiful day made the views that much more spectacular. Some areas in the tunnel get dark, others have water dripping down and loose gravel so you shouldn't try to cycle thru. Take time to learn about the amazing history of this place. Definitely coming back with the family as it is a pretty flat walk not too long at all. Would highly recommend it for all ages, you need to see it at least once.

Beautiful scenery as well as an important part of Western history. U just feel different kind of relaxation walking through one of the best nature and man made wonders. So much greenery and the freshness of the air. The sound of the river bouncing off the canyon just makes the best no instrument music ever. I can literally spend all day there jus exploring woods and water and just listen to the water and nature's sounds. Simply just love it!!!

Beautiful site. Always love going here. It was busy but was fairly spaced out between groups. Parking was a challenge, but still ok. It would be nice if there was a sign for the pathways after the tunnels. Would help to decide the length you want to go and if something is there you want to see.

Great park showcasing the railroad history in British Columbia. Really cool tunnels to walk through. Bring a flashlight to ensure you can see where your walking as the ground is a little uneven in the tunnels. Very cool views of the river and canyon. Very short walk from the parking lot. Definitely worth a visit. Can get very busy on a hot summer day though.

One of my favorite places is a lake with a road that's about 7 km long, but it's totally worth the journey. What I love the most is the beach there, especially the soft sand—it’s so relaxing!

The campground was nice, and the lake view was stunning. However, the lake wasn't safe for kids to play, there was lots of leeches in the water. Additionally, there was no tap water available, only force pump (old fashioned)

Easy access to the lake. Brought our canoe up. Just for the day. Keep in mind if it’s off season the gate will be closed to the campground. So take the road up to the left to launch kayaks or canoe. Many people just walk up to the beach access for the day.
Adam C — Google review
Serene, secluded lake in the wilderness. Perfect for kayaking/paddle-boarding! The road to get there is good, the last 6kms is gravel but still very well maintained and any car with decent car can make it, don’t necessarily need a 4x4. The campgrounds are great and also well monitored. The Day Use area is relatively small but I imagine this place doesn’t get too much traffic anyways. However, if you walk by the lake, there are many day-use spots where you can have your picnic or go for a swim.
Kush — Google review
This rustic park is located about 20 minutes from Hwy 1. Follow directions from the BCParks website. The road turns to a good quality dirt road partway in. The scenery as you drive into the hills is spectacular with rushing creeks, waterfalls, and coastal forest. On the plus side this park has large private campsites that are mostly level with tables and firepits. There is a small lake surrounded by mountains with a 10hp limit and a small boat launch. Perfect for canoe and kayak. The park is small, and the lake is an easy walk. On the negative side none of the sites have power, water or sewer hookup. There are no water taps but there is are hand pumps for drinking water located in the campground area. No showers. No flush toilets just pit toilets. There is only limited hiking available and no playground for children.
Michelle N — Google review
It is beautiful and extremely peaceful. We were able to walk down the trail and find a private little beach area for us to lounge at. There isn't a lot of parking but wasn't busy when we went on a Monday afternoon. We went swimming in the water it was cold and so refreshing as it was 35 degrees out. I didn't like the garbage people left lying around. My daughter found some glass in the water. There is also camping there but we didn't check that out.
Sonja W — Google review
Gorgeous lake at a provincial Park and a boat launch. It is worth walking back down the road to the entrance where there is a beautiful stream running over the rocks. It's very serene and peaceful. The road into the park is terrible!! There are some places it's a washboard road, others when there are giant holes and some with rocks jetting out. You can just drive super slow if you decide to go.

Falls Lake is a truly beautiful and peaceful destination, perfect for anyone looking to escape into nature. During my visit over a long weekend, I was struck by how calm and relaxing the atmosphere was—it’s an ideal spot to unwind away from the noise of daily life. The lake itself is stunning, with scenic water views that make for excellent photo opportunities. The hiking trails, though short, are enjoyable and accessible for all levels, making it a great option for families or anyone who prefers lighter outdoor activities. What really stood out to me was the combination of serenity and natural beauty; it’s the kind of place where you can take your time, breathe deeply, and simply enjoy the surroundings.

By far one of my favourite parks! The pictures attached are up Silverdaisy mountain. It has been one of my favourite hikes so far. The trail is in pretty rough shape in some spots, but it adds to the challenge and charm. The rest of the park is also really beautiful and it seems exploring the whole park would take a really long time, but I would recommend visiting it. There is a bit of everything there that would be good for a lot of different people. There is a lot of interesting historical information here and there are rhododendron patches which is quite rare for them to grow naturally in the wild. Did I mention the park is beautiful? If you go make sure you are aware of bears and bring bug spray. There is also no cell reception here, so come prepared and be aware of that in order to ensure your safety. The mosquitos and wasps are the biggest negative to this wonderful park. As long as you let people know where you are going and are prepared with enough food and water so that you can take advantage of all the exploring and different activities the park has to offer.

The park is absolutely beautiful and Ross Lake is clean and refreshing. The campground at Ross lake is well kept, park operators are hard to find. I did enjoy speaking to the American and Canadian park rangers and they had great activities for kids. It seems like a party campground as it’s 60km down a gravel road. Also the mosquitos were horrible, you can’t stay outside without bug spray and in the sun or else you will be eaten alive. We left a day early because the bugs were so bad even with heavy spray.

Went fishing on the lower skagit with a friend for the first time this year. Amazing trip, unfortunately the day camping area was closed but we still had easy access from the road to the water and camped on the river bank the two nights and three days we stayed! Only got into small bows but lots of fun and a beautiful place to escape!

I was working with invasive species in a large burn area in the park. The burn affected parts of the Silver Skagit and Centennial trails. This is a tremendously beautiful area; even after a significant wild fire. There are often a lot of bugs; but they do not distract much from the experience.

A paradise on earth. Small Brooks are flowing on the stony river bed. The whole valley is covered with green forest. Thick wood, singing river and whistling ducks will be one's company. You can walk 15 km to reach the end of the jungle trails. Time flows lazily when one holds his fishing rod without much expectations. The washrooms are closed.

Hiking poles, good shoes and good fitness will make the hike less challenging.. about a 1km walk for the parking area along the coquihalla highway. And great views once you get to the top with multiple 360 view points all around you. On a clear day it’s a perfect hike to accomplish!

Definitely worth a visit. Can get very busy on a hot summer day though.

Was so beautiful and easy to get to the tunnels , something about mother nature that always relaxes me , the only things is there is alot of construction on the roads right now and really bumpy so take it slow .

SO many talented people in Hope. There are incredible works of art in this gallery. I didn't have much to spend so I purchased 3 ART cards to put on a wall. I can't remember the name of the artist but he/ she has large paintings there as well.

If you are ever in Hope, you must see this art gallery! This gallery exhibits and sells fine art and crafts created by talented local artists. Each rooms displayed different artists hand made works, including paintings, prints, decorative and functional pottery, jewelry, wood, beadwork, fabric, fibre arts and more … lovely and fine ! Gallery artists are also volunteers! You may see them creating their work while you visit. Today I happened to meet the artist Mila. She is awesome! I appreciated her works, especially her paintings, peaceful, sunshine, and inspiring…

Great local art and handicrafts at far too low prices. You can afford gifts for others and something for yourself too...hand made shawls, pottery, paintings, photography, jewelry and more. Worth a trip to Hope. Take in some history, several fantastic hikes and a world class bike park....stay for the weekend!

This is a surprisingly large gallery for such a little town. Local artists showcase a variety of mediums, and a variety of skill levels. If you look around, you can definitely find some (affordable!) gems.

'Love this little shop. My husband is more interested in the local art, which leaves me time to look at the handmade jewellery that is amazing. The prices are excellent.

Completely overgrown, not sure why it is shut down. Nice spot under the trees by the river though.
