Detailed Information

The Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park is home to an engineering marvel, The Othello Tunnels. A straight line of railway tunnels were built through the solid granite cliffs of the Coquihalla Gorge in the early 20th century, but due to washouts and rock slides, the route was closed in 1959. Enjoy walking along the abandoned tunnels and bridges. Flashlights are strongly recommended for anyone walking or cycling through the Tunnels. Some are long and dark, and the gravel surface underfoot may be uneven due to erosion caused by dripping water. Features: Campground, picnic tables, fishing, hiking, cycling and toilets.
