Cottonwood Park

Cottonwood Park, located on Stuart Lake across from the Apartment Buildings, is home to two notable attractions. One is a German Junkers W34 Float Plane, which was used by bush pilots in the Fort St. James area from the 1930s to the 1970s. The other is the Tom Creek Steam Shovel, preserved as a tribute to pioneer families in the region. Beside the park, there is an RV dump site where you can tend to your RV while kids can play and dogs can be walked. The site also provides rinse water, although it is not suitable for drinking. If you need directions to the RV dump site, you can visit the Tourist Info Centre at the town entrance. Alternatively, you can simply stay on Highway 27 as it passes through town.
