Octopus Creek

Octopus Creek Recreation Site sits at the mouth of Octopus Creek where it flows into Lower Arrow Lake, tucked into a crescent-shaped bay near Edgewood, British Columbia.

The site is boat-access only due to private land restrictions, though a boat launch is also available via Applegrove Road. Boaters frequently use the sheltered bay as a refuge from the sudden winds and storms common on Arrow Lake.

At low water, an expansive sand and cobble beach emerges, offering swimming, boardsailing, and long beach walks. The lake is known for Kokanee fishing, and hikers can follow the creek upstream in search of natural hot springs.

Camping and picnic areas round out the site's amenities.
