Hike & Bike
If locals invite you to take a walk around the lake, you'd best plan for an extended vacation. Shuswap Lake's shoreline is 1,000 km. Add to the mix our fantastic collection of local mountains and the result is a superb variety of terrain to hike and bike and trail ride. Many trails throughout the Shuswap provide outstanding views of its centrepiece, Shuswap Lake, as well as numerous smaller lakes, waterfalls and rivers.The Shuswap Highland and the Monashee Mountains and their sub-ranges offer endless opportunities for adventure and are well known for hiking and biking. From mossy forest floors to alpine meadows to wetlands and well developed logging roads, the network of routes provides access to remote backcountry. Whether you’re looking for an enjoyable nature walk or challenging hike, a thrilling mountain bike ride or horse riding paths, the Shuswap is the ideal location.
