There’s no shortage of things to do in Shuswap Lake and its eight regions throughout the year, but the most popular season is the summer. Situated in the interior of British Columbia, it’s perfectly located halfway between Vancouver, BC and Calgary, Alberta in the Thompson-Okanagan area.

The lake is a jewel, with more than 400 kms of shoreline, surrounded by rolling hills and mountains. It lies within the northernmost wine region of the Okanagan Valley.

Many families make it an annual tradition to spend time at the lake to cool off and reconnect.
