Beach and Picnics at Lakeview Community Park

Lakeview Community Park is a swimming and picnic area on the lake. Its beach, which is more than 200 metres long, faces south. Parking for eight to ten cars is available at the park. This makes it a convenient place to spend a day focused on swimming and taking a break by the water.

Boating Options and Excursions

Anglemont Marina rents various boats for trips on the lake, wakeboarding sessions or camping trips. The boat shuttle service costs $10 each way. Boat rental availability and the shuttle service’s operating details may vary seasonally; check them if you’re planning a specific trip. This lets you tailor your plans to the boating day you have in mind, rather than treating the different options as interchangeable.

Nearby, the out-and-back trail to Evelyn Falls winds through the North Shuswap forest above Anglemont. The trail leads to a hidden waterfall. Farther up the creek, experienced hikers and snowshoers can explore some forest roads and logging trails. Backcountry conditions may vary.
