Some like to think we’re in the middle of 

nowhere. We like to think we’re at the centre of 

all that’s good. 

The Shuswap is home to great lakes, warm water, sandy beaches, 

incredible houseboating, golf, skiing, music festivals, farmers’ 

markets, wineries and endless trails. Seven uniquely enchanting 

regions to explore year-round. This four-season destination invites you 

to put your feet up and make yourself at home. 

You’ll find us in the central lower third of British Columbia, conveniently 

mid-way between Vancouver, BC and Calgary, AB. Canada’s central 

roadway, Trans-Canada Highway 1, runs right through the Shuswap 

and Highway 97 joins us from the Southern Okanagan. In addition to a 

number of road routes, you can easily access the Shuswap by flying to 

Kamloops Airport or Kelowna International Airport.

There are 7 Visitor Centres in the Shuswap: 

The Shuswap has a 

storied history… 

Shuswap Lake is named after 

the Shuswap First Nations — 

the Secwepemc — an important 

Salish nation whose ancestors 

have always lived in the 

BC interior. 

Once numbering over 5,000, 

the Secwepemc lived along 

Little Shuswap Lake and Big 

Shuswap Lake, fishing salmon, 

hunting and gathering. The 

Sockeye Salmon spawning 

cycle occurring at the Adams 

River was integral to First 

Nations’ culture and lifestyle. 

Today, four First Nations bands 

live in the Shuswap: the Adams 

Lake Band, Neskonlith Band, 

Spallumcheen Band and Little 

Shuswap Band. 

Two centuries ago, traders 

and explorers arrived and 

in time, settlements sprang 

up throughout the region. 

When gold was discovered 

on the Columbia River in 

1864, Seymour Arm became a 

supply centre for the Big Bend 

gold rush. The Hudson’s Bay 

Company built the first 

steamer to ply the Shuswap 

region’s water. 

The completion of the Canadian 

Pacific Railway – the Last 

Spike joining the east and west 

segments at Craigellachie – 

changed life in the Shuswap. 

Settlement and development 

followed: farms and businesses 

were established and brisk 

trade evolved to serve the 

needs of resource industries 

like logging and mining. 

The spirit of exploration and 

discovery remains alive today 

throughout the Shuswap. 

Its vast areas of untrammeled 

wilderness still beckon those 

seeking British Columbia’s most 

enchanting and captivating 

landscapes and stories.

How would you describe the Shuswap? 

You could say it’s a place where incredible nature comes to rest in the 

soul. A singular place, where every season and every region beckons 

to restless soles. A place to ascend towering cliffs, glide across 

snowy meadows, listen to the whispers of a lush forest or step inside 

an inviting café, let go of your hurry, stay awhile and smile. 

You could say it’s a place for families, where you can jump into 

incredibly warm water from the deck of a houseboat or wander along 

rolling trails. A place where you can golf, then bike, then swim, then 

dine on fine local fare and enjoy an evening out on the town. 

You could say it’s a place where you can taste great wines and tour 

vineyards, explore hidden natural treasures, witness the amazing 

cycle of the salmon and watch the clear night sky wheel overhead. 

A place to revel in culture and community and to create your own 

stories of simplicity and abundance. 

You could say all of this and even more. 

Or you could simply say it’s a place where you 

can change into your vacation shoes, put your 

feet up and do blissfully nothing at all. 

Plan your Shuswap visit or 

vacation all at once, or take 

time to explore each of the 

area’s seven distinct regions: 

Salmon Arm, Chase, Enderby, 

Falkland, North Shuswap, 

South Shuswap and Sicamous. 

We’re known for our 

spectacular summers but 

wonders await the whole 

year through. The Shuswap 

is a destination of choice for 

families, adventurers, golfers, 

hikers and bikers, winter sports 

enthusiasts, snowmobilers and 

all types of water sports fans. 

Put one foot in heaven and take 

a step in our direction.

a natural miracle as 

the Sockeye Salmon

In the colourful days of fall, the 

quiet waters of the 12 km river 

turn turbulent and crimson as 

over two million Sockeye Salmon - 

returning from a life’s journey that 

takes them far out into the Pacific 

- pour into their home waters to 

spawn and die. Sockeye Salmon 

return to the Adams River every 

year but the migration that occurs

agriculture & agritourism 

If you’re looking to get back to the land, 

you’re in the right place. 

The Shuswap is one of the most fertile areas of BC. Rich 

with fruit and produce, the area provides visitors with an 

opportunity to experience farming and agriculture first hand. 

You’ll find orchards, gardens, ranches, greenhouses, dairies, 

markets and more. Come visit our ranches and gardens to 

find out what our local farmers already know: that working 

with the land can be blissful rest for the soul. 

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to live and 

work on a farm, ask us! During the summer and fall, visitors 

can participate in workshops and tours at some farms, talk 

with experienced growers before taking home vegetable and 

bedding plants for their own gardens. Not got green fingers? 

How about learning about livestock and sustainable farming 

at a ranch? 

Don’t worry if you can’t make it to a farm for a tour. With 

farmers’ markets across the region, you can still easily find 

a bounty of locally grown and 

organic fruits, vegetables and 

meats – and great local colour – 

as well as crafts, baked goods, 

preserves and much more. 

Take a leisurely stroll, grab a 

snack and share a smile! 

Farmers’ markets are popular 

in Blind Bay, Celista, Chase, 

Enderby, Falkland, Malakwa, 

Salmon Arm, Scotch Creek, 

Sicamous and Sorrento. 

The Shuswap is renowned for 

some incredible dairies that 

export throughout the country. 

Fresh milk and great cheeses 

– not to mention mind-blowing 

ice cream! – all contribute to the 

Shuswap taste extravaganza. 

Get a true taste of some of BC’s 

best down-to-earth goodness 

at some of the following farms

WINeries & Breweries 

Wine and beer enthusiasts, welcome to paradise! 

Award-winning wineries and unique breweries 

welcome you to indulge in exceptional 

tasting experiences. 

Like so many Shuswap stories, our wines and beers express the 

spectacular landscape that surrounds us. Our region is home to six award 

winning wineries – Ovino Winery, Recline Ridge, Sunnybrae Vineyards & 

Winery, Celista Estate Winery, Granite Creek Estate Winery, Larch Hills 

Winery – and two outstanding breweries specializing in local, organic 

beers – Crannóg Ales and the Barley Station Brew Pub. 

Although the Shuswap is sometimes considered part of the Okanagan 

wine-growing region, our climate is cooler than the southern interior 

regions of BC and creates exceptional products. Shuswap summers are 

warm and dry, with long, sunny days and cool nights creating distinctive, 

flavourful grapes. And with so much snow over the winter, the climate 

provides a generous amount of moisture year-round, keeping irrigation 

needs to a minimum. Each vineyard enjoys its own unique microclimate, 

producing singular flavours that can only be found right here. 

With wineries of outstanding 

quality established throughout 

the Shuswap, a tasting tour is a 

must for visitors seeking to delight 

all five senses! The Shuswap’s 

wineries are family-run businesses 

that produce wines so fine that 

they compete on par with Canadian 

and International wines. They have 

perfected a combination 

of growing techniques 

and plant selection that 

enhances the aromas and 

flavours of their wines. 

The area’s wines 

include magnificent 

Gewürztraminers, 

Merlots, Ortegas, 

Reislings, Siegerrebes, just to 

name a few, which have all won 

national awards. 

All six wineries have tasting 

rooms to pour out adventures 

for your palette. To find 

out which ones are open 

during your visit, go to www. 

shuswapwineries.ca, or pick 

up a copy of our Full Circle 

Farm Tours brochure. 

Although these wineries 

have worked long and hard 

to earn their accolades, 

for visitors the 

journey is easy. 

Most wineries 


are located within a twenty-minute drive of 

the Trans-Canada Highway, which winds its 

way through Shuswap country, from Celista 

Estate Winery on the north side of the lake, to 

more central Granite Creek, Recline Ridge, and 

Sunnybrae Vineyards & Winery, and on to Ovino 

and Larch Hills Wineries toward the Okanagan. 

The Shuswap region is also home to breweries 

that pride themselves on using only the finest 

local organic ingredients to produce their beers 

and ales. Crannóg Ales in Sorrento, Canada’s 

first certified organic farmhouse microbrewery, 

brews unfiltered, unpasteurized ales using only 

organic ingredients, some of which come right 

from their own farm. At the Barley Station Brew 

Pub in Salmon Arm, visitors delight in fine food 

and exclusive limited-edition seasonal beers. 

Whether you choose to savour the Shuswap’s 

wineries and breweries in a day or a week, make 

sure to plan your tour carefully to maximize your 

enjoyment. Remember too, that some wineries 

have a picnic area or patio so that you can bring a 

snack or a meal to enjoy along with the fabulous 

wine and stunning scenery. 

Keep in mind that some of the Shuswap’s unique 

wines are produced only in limited quantities and 

may not be available elsewhere, so if you find 

yourself swept away by a particular flavour, stock 

up while you’re there. And to keep your tour 

worry-free, appoint a designated driver for the 

trip. You will be glad you did!

trails 

The Shuswap is home to an extensive trail 

network that offers something for everyone. 

From simple strolls on community paths, to alpine hikes in 

snow-dotted and flower-strewn meadows, to walks on the boardwalk, 

to waterfalls and meandering forest excursions, you can satisfy all 

your soles’ desires. 

The Shuswap’s trails are often characterized as an Appalachian-style 

network of cross-country hiking, biking, ski, snowshoe and equestrian 

trail routes. The terrain varies widely, from mossy forest floors to alpine 

meadows and wetlands. 

Well-developed backcountry roads and boating routes provide access to 

remote areas, hidden gems waiting for curious adventurers. This land is 

home to numerous tree species, wildflowers and mushrooms, and you 

can find yourself in the 

company of animals 

both large (moose!) 

and small (mice!). 

The Shuswap 

Highland, the 

Monashee Mountains and 

their sub-ranges offer endless 

opportunities for adventure and 

are well known for hiking, biking 

and horseback riding. In and 

around Salmon Arm, you’ll find 

an exceptional system of cycling 

routes as well. Dismount to take 

a close look at the marshland, 

take to the countryside for a 

quiet rural ride, or head to the 

highlands to test your skills on 

trails ranging from gentle to flatout 

thrilling. 

The Shuswap’s trail network 

often takes visitors through 

and alongside the traditional 

territory of the Secwepemc First 

Nations peoples. With all that 

these lands have to offer and 

as the home of the great spirit 

for eternity, 

we politely 

request that 

all sojourners, 

hikers, 

wanderers and 

adventures 

obey signage, 

respect 

sensitive 

cultural locales 

and help to ensure that the 

landscape retains 

its captivating 

beauty for 

generations 

to come. 

Our trail network 

just keeps getting 

better. Guided by a vision of 

overnight facilities to link 

existing accommodations 

- B&B’s, campgrounds 

and resorts with a series 

of discrete backcountry 

wilderness cabins – we have 

created opportunities for a 

point-to-point (or hut-to-hut), 

outdoor travel experience 

amongst our stunning natural 

landscape. The Shuswap Trail 

Alliance, an award-winning 

initiative among regional 

partners, is dedicated to 

making the way through our 

parks, our communities and 

around the Shuswap as clean 

and as green as possible.

region to help you out in case of trouble. 

Themed tours are a wonderful way to

prosperity and message of 

respect for nature. Bringing 

people together to enjoy music

21st year as one of the highlights of BC’s 

cultural calendar. 

This incredibly popular outdoor musical festival draws over 30,000 

enthusiastic attendees and features musicians from Canada and around 

the world. The festival has become a prominent link on the national 

festival circuit and is considered among the top roots festivals in 

Canada, offering a diverse range of Canadian and international artists 

that educate, entertain, and challenge audiences to expand their 

musical horizons. The Roots & Blues festival showcases some of the 

world’s best blues, world, folk, zydeco, alternative, funk, and reggae 

music, all in the welcoming, visually arresting setting of the Shuswap!

Blues Festival on the road to 

communities throughout the

lovers to locations they’ve never 

visited before. Routes & Blues is 

about creating rich, multifaceted 

experiences: getting folks out on 

the trails with the Shuswap Trail 

Alliance, trying out new skills 

and crafts, bringing visitors and 

locals together to share meals, 

and presenting great live music 

in historic buildings and outdoor 

venues.

Share in the traditions of 

ancient First Nations 

The history of First Nations in the Shuswap 

goes back over 10,000 years. The area is

BC interior. Come live this history. Stroll in the 

Neskonlith Meadows (a permit is required), 

enjoy bannock at Jack Sam’s Restaurant at 

Quaaout Lodge, or take in activities at the

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: the 

Shuswap landscape is rich and varied, perfect 

for adventurers and for folks just looking for a 

relaxing time in a beautiful setting. 

The region’s array of provincial, regional and community parks provides 

a wide range of experiences. 

The Shuswap boasts an abundance of provincial parks, day-use 

areas and protected areas. Herald Provincial Park and Shuswap 

Lake Provincial Park offer waterfront access and feature hundreds of 

spacious, tree-covered campsites, sandy beaches, nature trails and 

water activities for visitors of all ages. Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial 

Park is a perfect place to visit in October to witness the run of the Adams 

River sockeye salmon. 

History buffs will enjoy Silver Beach Provincial Park, located at the north

Provincial Park is renowned for 

its excellent fishing year-round. 

Cinnemousun Narrows Provincial 

Park, where the four arms of 

Shuswap Lake meet, is perfect for 

water recreation. There are many 

other great parks in the region 

too, visit www.Env.Gov.BC.ca/

Regional and community parks

make for a perfect picnic. John 

Evdokimoff Park, a bike skills 

park in the South Shuswap, 

also serves as the trailhead 

for the White Lake-Balmoral 

connector trail. Other parks cater 

to different activities and skill 

levels, from gentle hikes great 

for families to rigourous ascents. 

Please treat our parks and 

your fellow visitors with 

respect and be mindful of 

your impact on the land 

during your visit.

The Shuswap’s shimmering lakes, rich wetlands 

and lush forests don’t just appeal to people – 

our fine feathered friends love to perch here too. 

In fact, our widely varied habitat of rivers, lakes and wetlands 

attracts over 300 bird species to the Shuswap – some 63 per cent 

of all species found in BC. In the spring and fall the shorelines are 

a haven for a wide variety of migratory birds. Large numbers of 

waterfowl and many other birds grace the skies and waterways of the 

region. Watch Osprey and Blue Herons fishing. Bring your binoculars 

to look on as Bald Eagles feed their young. 

Perhaps one of the most enchanting Shuswap experiences to be had 

is witnessing the ‘walking on water’ dance of the Western Grebe. The 

Western Grebe has established only two breeding colonies in BC, and 

one of them is right here in Salmon Arm Bay. Take the family out for a 

canoe trip to share in the magic 

up close. 

Birding is a wonderful 

way to learn about 

our natural 

surroundings, too. 

Numerous tree 

species, wildflower 

and mushroom 

varieties flourish in the 

Shuswap’s temperate zone, 

while large and small animals 

thrive in its lush habitats. At 

the Salmon Arm Marine Park 

by the wharf, visit the awardwinning 

Interpretive Centre 

operated by the Salmon Arm 

Bay Nature Enhancement 

Society, where you can find out 

what makes our ecosystems 

thrive. The society has worked 

to protect the sensitive 

habitat, creating islands, 

lagoons, boardwalks, trails 

and bird blinds.

Know where to look – 

up in the trees or among 

the reeds? 

Bring a field guide 

– colour photos or 

illustrations will make 

bird identification easier. 

Bring binoculars – it’s not 

always possible to get 

up close. 

Bring the family – 

birdwatching is magical 

for folks of all ages. 

Try a guided walk – visit 

the SABNES Interpretive 

Centre for a great start. 

Use your ears – birds 

have distinctive, beautiful 

voices. Listening will help 

you identify birds, too! 

Look carefully – birds 

are uniquely and 

beautifully detailed. 

Take notes – in case you 

want to learn more later! 

Tread lightly – habitat 

areas can be sensitive. 

Enjoy but beware – 

birdwatching can 

become addictive! 


Winter ACTIVITIES 

You might know the Shuswap best 

for our lovely lakes and sultry 

summers but we’ve got mountain 

magic year-round! Come join us for 

a winter adventure you’ll never forget 

and find out why it’s one of our top 

four favourite seasons! 

Where there’s four seasons, there’s snow. And where 

there’s snow, there’s skiing. The Shuswap offers a 

variety of alpine and Nordic skiing opportunities, 

as well as snowboarding and backcountry touring, 

making it a great central location for an incredible BC 

ski vacation. We’ve got an 

endless variety of terrain 

– from gentle hills to 

rugged slopes – and easy 

driving access to countless 

trailheads. 

If snowmobiling is more your 

style, all across the Shuswap 

you’ll find great powder, 

challenging climbs and fun 

bowls to play in. Our hills are 

just right for all types: from new 

sledders, touring families, fun 

riders and thrill-seekers. 

After a 

thrilling day on 

the snow, rest up 

in a cozy chalet, 

or venture out 

to a lake for skating 

and ice fishing. Gather 

the whole family for a fun 

snowshoe hike or treat 

yourselves to a sleigh ride 

and festive cheer. 

Welcome to our 

enchanted winter! 


Is the Shuswap’s legendary Monashee 

powder calling your name? 

Make this a winter to remember with a Shuswap ski 

vacation. Here, you’re close to resorts and stunning 

wilderness. Whether you’re seeking speedy downhill 

thrills or solitary moonlight excursions or dream of carving 

elegant turns in remote bowls, your wishes can come true 

in the Shuswap. 

The Shuswap’s geographic situation provides mid-point 

access to three world-class ski resorts: Silverstar (Vernon), 

Revelstoke Mountain Resort (Revelstoke), and Sun Peaks 

(Kamloops) — all within a 1.5 hour drive of the Shuswap. 

In addition to resort skiing, the Shuswap also offers 

off-piste and backcountry touring. The alpine highlands 

surrounding the Shuswap lake system are an unlimited 

playground for experienced backcountry travelers with 

knowledge in avalanche terrain 

and route-finding. Planning is 

essential to any safe, successful 

ski experience, so be sure 

to learn about the trails and 

conditions you’ll meet, and ski 

prepared with avalanche gear. 

Consult the Shuswap Trail Guide 

for route information, and visit 

www.avalanche.ca for snow and 

avalanche updates. 

There’s nothing like skimming 

the peaceful, snow-covered 

countryside on cross-country 

skis! Nordic skiing is fun and 

accessible for all, offers a chance 

for quiet winter solitude and is 

great exercise. The Shuswap 

boasts one of BC’s largest Nordic 

ski centres, experiences annual 

snow packs between one and 

three metres, and is home to one 

of Canada’s largest loppets.

Winter ACTIVITIES 

The crisp, star-studded nights. The sparkling, 

smooth, snowy landscape. The fresh smell of 

evergreen forests. The warmth of family and 

friends gathered round a crackling fire. There’s so 

much to love about winter and so many ways to 

discover its unique charms. 

Is there anything more quintessentially Canadian than gliding across 

a frozen lake on silvery blades? The Shuswap’s abundant still waters 

make perfect, scenic rinks in winter, so pack your skates and lace them 

up here! White Lake and Gardom Lake offer the authentic experience, 

and you’ll find great outdoor rinks at Putula Park in Mara and the Salmon 

Arm Wharf. And visitors looking for winter fun in an indoor refuge can 

take their skates for a few laps around the Shaw Centre Arena in 

Salmon Arm. 

If floating gently over 

powder is more your 

speed, strap on your 

snowshoes and delight in 

our exceptional network of 

trails and stunning scenery. 

Snowshoeing is a great way to 

experience the magic of winter, 

no matter what your age, and 

the only skill you need is the 

ability to smile, have fun and 

look just a little silly! 

Do you love fishing in the 

summertime? Rediscover it 

in winter! During the colder 

months, many lakes freeze 

over, offering an ideal setting 

for ice fishing. White Lake, 

rated as one of the top ten 

Rainbow Trout fishing lakes in 

North America, is a great spot 


to try in winter, so bundle up and drop a line. 

Sledders will find paradise here, too. 

Incredible snow, great terrain and 

exceptional access make Shuswap 

snowmobiling experiences some of the 

best in the province. Many of the area’s 

mountains offer groomed access, providing 

a smooth ride to the alpine. There’s great 

powder, challenging climbs and fun bowls to 

play in. Our hills are just right for all types: 

new sledders, touring families, fun riders 

and thrill seekers alike. But always 

remember, safety first! Whenever 

you’re snowmobiling in a new area, 

it is wise to check with experienced 

local riders first regarding snow 

and weather conditions, routes and potential 

hazards, and check avalanche conditions at 

www.avalanche.ca. 

What could be better than warming up by 

a fire after a crisp winter day outside? For a 

complete Shuswap winter experience, pair 

your outdoor adventures with a stay in a cozy 

backwood chalet. Spend time visiting with 

friends, cooking a tasty meal together, and 

relaxing in a charming atmosphere. Advance 

bookings are necessary, so plan ahead – and 

give yourself something to look forward 

to! A great winter experience is right 

at the doorstep! 

We’d love to share the holiday 

season with you, too. Join family 

and friends in a horse-drawn 

open sleigh, and top it off with a 

steaming mug of hot cocoa and a 

warm cinnamon bun. Visit the CPR Holiday 

Train for a great lineup of musical talent 

on its boxcar stage. Marvel at the clear 

night skies at the Moonlight Lantern Ski, 

and trade Christmas baking afterward with 

friends old and new. Take in a Santa Claus 

parade or become one of Santa’s elves at an 

art-making workshop at the renowned SAGA 

Public Art Gallery. 

There are countless ways to connect 

and celebrate throughout our Shuswap 

communities all season long. Warm your 

heart here this winter!
