Shuswap Lake is steeped in Western Canada’s earliest history, the lake and river system with its old paddle steamers and river boats having served the pioneers on the main route between the Prairies and the Pacific.

The history of the resort dates back almost 4 decades. Fishing is excellent, Shuswap Lake being the home of giant lake trout and record Kamloops (Rainbow) Trout up to 25 lbs.

We are located on the north end of the famous fruit growing Okanagan Valley; we have hot to warm days in the valleys, amongst snow capped peaks, with cool nights. For the environmentalist, we have pure crystal clear water and the cleanest air on the continent.
