Just a few kliks north of Washington State, Beaver Creek Provincial Park is an 81 hectare park on the west side of Highway 22, about seven kilometres south of Trail.

Beaver Creek Park has a large day use area with a good sized log pavilion which hosts many outdoor events through the summer. In the day use area are washrooms, benches and picnic tables, a kiddies' playground, a sand volleyball court and a large, flat sports field, as well as plenty of parking.

Past the day use area, beside the Columbia River, are the campsites, about 20 in number. They are all unserviced, with water taps and washrooms nearby. Set in the forest beside the river, each campsite has a fire pit and a picnic table. Cost per night in 2016 is $21.00 and firewood is available for $5.00 per bundle. Hot showers are available at the shower building located at the park entrance. The fees for showers are included in the camping fees.

Past the campsites is the boat launch ramp, a single lane asphalt ramp at a protected cove in the river. There's no dock at the ramp, but there is parking available both beside the road and in two parking areas, about 50 metres and 200 metres above the ramp.
