Location: Shuswap Lake is situated in the four-season playground of south-central British Columbia, midway between Vancouver, BC and Calgary, Alberta, on the Trans Canada Highway 1; about an hour and a half drive west of Revelstoke.
Teeming with salmon, rainbow and lake trout for the fishing enthusiast, Shuswap Lake is a boater’s paradise blessed by hundreds of miles of pristine shoreline, five Provincial Parks, wide expanses of open water and countless bays and inlets for finding a quiet place to anchor and set ashore for a picnic or a hike. Secret waterfalls are plentiful and beaches abound. The weather in the summer months is usually hot and dry, so getting out on the lake is a must. If water sports are your thing then there are lots of opportunities for water skiing, kayaking or cruising in a pontoon boat.
Located on the southwest end of Shuswap Lake, about 130 km west of Revelstoke and 80 km northeast of Kamloops, Blind Bay is right off the Trans Canada Highway, so access is very easy from the major roadway. This popular golf course community provides numerous other recreation activities including grass airstrip, boating, tennis, hiking and model airplane flying.
With 60 sites, Finz Resort on Blind Bay offers ample space for RV camping, with 11 acres backing onto hiking and biking trails. Walking distance amenities include the Finz convenience store for all your basic RV, camping and marina needs, and a tourism kiosk with information on activities and points of interest. Just a stone's throw away, the licensed waterfront Finz Bar & Grill is a local and tourist favorite. There truly isn’t any place like it, with over 200 seats right on the water, a lively atmosphere, friendly service and great food prepared with the freshest seafood and local ingredients. You can even order right from your boat! The resort boasts 75 moorage spots with an all-new dock system, a "cruise-up" boat gas station, and secure summer and winter storage areas.
If you enjoy the peace and solitude of an early morning or evening fish, all that’s required is that you get your gear together, embark in your boat, and cast your line. Fishing boat rentals are available at Finz Resort, along with ski boats, jet skis, paddleboards, kayaks and the solar powered Kon-Tiki raft! The resort is minutes away from 18 holes of golf, with discounts available for guests, and an hour’s drive from fine alpine skiing. Wineries and wine tours are also popular in the area.
