Nearby Towns: Sicamous
This small town is nestled between Mara and Shuswap lakes, and is known for its wide range
of recreational opportunities. The town’s name comes from the Salish word for "narrow",
since it overlooks the short Sicamous Narrow of Shuswap Lake.
This town was once a major railway depot, but is now the houseboat capital of Canada. There are a dozen operators with over 350 houseboats. Shuswap Lake has over 300 kilometres of scenic shoreline, where houseboats may anchor each night, and the lake has four narrow "arms" surrounded by forested peaks up to 2200 metres in elevation. The Shushap Lake Marine Park has a number of popular sites around the lake, and provides several designated boat/houseboat beaches.
