Nancy Greene Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, located approximately 27 km (17 mi) northwest of the city of Rossland and 31 km (19 mi) west of the city of Castlegar in that province's West Kootenay region, at the junction of Highway 3 and Highway 3B.[1] It is named for Nancy Greene, Canadian Olympic medallist in downhill skiing, who is a native of Rossland.[2]
The park offers camping, canoeing, fishing, swimming, and cross-country skiing, as well as a short hiking trail. Nancy Greene has 10 parking lot style sites. The large parking lot allows open parking and can accommodate extra vehicles or larger rigs. There is one walk-in tent site located just above the beach area.
Grizzly bears routinely frequent the park in the spring to feed on vegetation. Pets/domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. Power boats are prohibited.
