Stemwinder Provincial Park is a provincial park located just west of Hedley in British Columbia, Canada.[1] The park is 4 hectares (9.9 acres) in size, and provides public access to the Similkameen River.[2]

Documented archaeological sites in the form of rock artifacts and depressions of former pit houses, so-called "pithouses", of the Similkameen (a group of the Okanagan) indicate an early settlement by First Nations and suggest a trading camp here.[3]
