The village is a very popular recreational spot with good access to Lake Windermere and two excellent public beaches – Kinsmen and James Chabot.

The Invermere Museum is housed in four log buildings in a park at the top of the hill entering town. Located near Kinsmen beach, Pynelogs Cultural Centre offers live performances, art shows and café.


The area is ideal for hiking, with many maintained trails. Eight 18-hole golf courses and numerous par 3 courses open in March and all are within twenty minutes from town.
