About McAbee Fossil Beds, British Columbia, Canada

The McAbee Fossil Beds site is located east of Cache Creek, and west of Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. The area is part of an ancient lake bed dating back 50 million years. It is considered the most diverse fossil bed in British Columbia and is known for its fossilized plants, insects, and fish from the Eocene Epoch.

The park features dramatic desert landscapes and it’s hard to believe you’re actually in Canada when you walk around the arid landscape. The park also features a gorgeous waterfall that seeps through the canyon gorges and creates an amazing desert oasis at the bottom.

Unfortunately, the park remains closed at this time but should be open o the public in the near future.
