Float Away

Princeton is located at the junction of the Similkameen and Tulameen Rivers. Tubing or kayaking from Bromley Rock Provincial Park is a great way to enjoy a summer afternoon. Both rivers are excellent for swimming or trout fishing. See over 50 lakes with sport fish in them within a 100 kilometre (60 mile) radius.

Lakes for Every Occasion

Our large lakes – Otter, Osprey, Chain, Missezula – offer family fun, including boating, sailing and swimming.

Strike it Rich!

Princeton is gold rush country. The rivers and creeks still yield gold. Every spring it washes down from the mother lodes up in the mountains. If you don’t carry your own gold pan in the trunk, our Visitor Information Centre will loan you one and show you a map of the town reserve. Pan only in the Princeton reserve. Otherwise, you might be claim-jumping. Maps of the reserve are also available at the Government Agent’s office.
