ABOUT SICAMOUS, MARA & THE SHUSWAP

Located halfway between the cities of Calgary and Vancouver, is the breathtaking Shuswap Lake and town of Sicamous. It is nestled in the mountains at the northern edge of the Okanagan, around the channel that connects Mara Lake and Shuswap Lake. An astonishingly pristine setting that is both a pleasure to "live" and "play" year round.

The unique placement of the town makes Sicamous an outdoor enthusiasts dream. It is regarded as the premier houseboating destination in Canada with thousands of families and friends flocking to the area over the summer months to enjoy the thousands of kilometers of lake-front.

Recent years have seen the explosion of recreational snowmobiling in the area. Sicamous and the surrounding mountains offer up some of the best sledding areas in Western Canada with breathtaking scenery and thousands of acres of fresh powder up in the mountain bowls and enjoyable trail sledding.

Another favorite local activity is challenging the renowned championship course at Hyde Mountain, a premier golf course built around the side of Hyde Mountain that offers a superior golf experience with unbelievable views of Mara Lake and the surrounding area.

There is no shortage of activities in this spectacular piece of heaven. With four distinct seasons, there's constantly something new to do!
