Hiking in ice and snow need not be daunting or intimidating. With a bit of knowledge and a few basic gear items, the trails in the winter are no more nor less challenging than in the warmer months!
Skmana Lake is truly a four-season playground in the heart of the North and South Shuswap area. Nordic Ski and Snowshoe trails, Ice Fishing, Kayaking, Hiking, Horseback Riding, Camping, and more!
Snowshoeing is a fantastic winter sport full of fun, fitness, and friendships! Here are our top tips and tricks plus some cold weather hacks from the experts!
Skimikin Lake offers many snowshoe or cross-country skiing trails, including short looped Nordic trails near the lake and longer, more backcountry-style trails.
Whether you are a backcountry enthusiast, a family looking for some fun, or a first-timer, we have something for everyone here in the Shuswap this winter!
One of our most loved winter activities is packing up the ice skates and the kids and enjoying a winter’s day rink side! We are so lucky, here in the Shuswap to have a great selection of both, maintained and natural outdoor ice skating rinks, each one offering a new and timeless experience.
What better way to enjoy the stillness of the winter landscape…the frozen lakes, the dusted mountains, the evergreen canopies, or the soft sound of the snow crunching underfoot. There is nothing more pretty than a winter’s trail and the Shuswap has so many to offer us!
The lake is cold, calm and clear, reflecting the night sky. The mountains are in their majestic winter glory. On nights like this, when there are stars upon stars overhead, I dream of a night hike! Grab the snowshoes, the headlights, a friend or the kids and head to the local trails!
An exhilarating and fun overlander trek in our backyard. On a clear day, you can look right over the top of Blind Bay, to Tappen Valley, and beyond to Salmon Arm and Mount Ida. This is an epic sunset hike as the sun goes down gloriously over top of Copper Island and Scotch Creek.
