Nocturnal Preserve · BC, CA

Johns Family Nature Conservancy Regional Park

Johns Family Nature Conservancy Regional Park, south of Kelowna, British Columbia, has been an RASC Nocturnal Preserve since May 2023. The 405.8-hectare park is day use only, so night visits happen through programs such as stargazing nights with the Okanagan RASC and guided hikes like Owl Prowl. Access is via Chute Lake Road, with about 2.9 km of gravel.
