The Fishtrap rest area though not large it still provides picnic tables under large shade trees. The restroom facilities were clean when we were there. EV charging stations were recently installed as they are becoming more common in B.C. rest areas. There are several large sign boards providing local information, map of the Circle Route and information about invasive plants. The South Thompson River is nearby however no access from the rest area.
Invasive plant species is a major problem throughout British Columbia and the rest of Canada.
Invasive plants are aggressive and can permanently alter ecosystems, impact natural resources and can cause the extinction of native species.
These invasive plants were most likely unintentionally brought in on unclean boats, discarded plant materials and because of beautiful flowers some were brought unlawfully into British Columbia from areas around the world.
