Sightseeing
With 350 metres of sandy beach and parking for over 200 vehicles, this park is great for the whole family. The lake has a reputation as the warmest in all of Canada. Plenty of shade trees and picnic tables near the beach, combined with a warm shallow swimming area make this a super beach for the kids.

Gladstone Provincial Park is most well known for the vehicle-accessible Texas Creek campground which is a destination campground.
The park also has significant wilderness value. It provides a diversity of habitats in the Selkirk Foothills ecosection of the province that is found nowhere else. These include Kokanee spawning areas, winter range for deer and elk, and of particular importance, low elevation habitats and old growth cedar and hemlock forests.
There are several short trails that lead from the campground to the lake. Christina Lake has a reputation as one of the warmest and clearest lakes in Canada. There are several pocket beaches that provide great opportunities for privacy and quiet moments. The Monashee Mountains surround the lake and it is a perfect backdrop for a variety of water-oriented recreational activities. Fishing for Kokanee, rainbow trout and small-mouth bass is popular.

Food scene
Reminiscent of old-school drive-ins, the Kool Treat offers classic burgers, fries, onion rings, and more. The take-out window will take you back and the food will satisfy your cravings. The Kool Treat has been rolling out the red carpet for decades and there is no better place to stop on a summer night at the Lake to enjoy a milkshake and fries. Yum!
