About

This area is noted for its equestrian trails. There is an extensive multi-use (motorized & non-motorized) trail network around the lake and up onto the benches and crags of the surrounding mountain sides, with gentle inclines and views over the valley below. Approx 100 km of marked trails, including several short loops near the lake. Excellent horse riding staging area, with pull-throughs and corrals at the campground/day use area. Trail junctions are signed, with the higher numbers further away from the lake. People also visit Skimikin Lake to fish and enjoy the birds, turtles and other wildlife. This is an important Secwépemc cultural site and wetland habitat. A joint working group of motorized and non-motorized trail stewards assist with care for the area in consultation with Secwépemc leaders and provincial land managers. Please respect signage and stay on designated trails, as marked.
