The campground gate closes mid-October, while trails remain accessible year-round. Winter visits are day-use only and gate access can be limited by snow.

How to get to Herald Provincial Park
From Salmon Arm, the park is a drive of roughly 20 to 25 minutes west on the Trans-Canada Highway and then north on Sunnybrae Canoe Point Road. From Kamloops, plan on about 1 hour 30 minutes east on Highway 1, and from Kelowna around 2 hours north via Highways 97 and 1. Herald Park is 14 km east of the Trans-Canada Highway at Tappen, on the west shore of the Salmon Arm of Shuswap Lake. The access road is paved but narrow and winding in sections with a steep descent to the lake, so large RVs and trailers should take the grade slowly. Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is the nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips.
