There are many picnic tables here and some have views of the West Kettle River.
There is also river access for canoeists and across the river is the West Kettle Valley Trans Canada Trail which is a popular cycling trail.
The road to Conkle Lake Provincial Campground is not far from here as well. (If you turn off on this road and cross the bridge you should be able to access the West Kettle Valley TCT off the Blythe Rhone Road.
Of interest: Paul Lautard's War Memorial in Rhone has become a rest stop for cyclists. Paul has built a beautiful shelter with hammocks inside, an out house and picnic table on the site and a bicycle railing for leaning heavily ladened pannier bicycles against.)
