The area is known for its gorgeous scenery and untouched environment.

Houseboating is popular in the Shuswap, where the largest houseboat fleet in Canada is found. It is also one of the largest in the world. Imagine restfully floating along the lake with friends and family under blue skies while gazing at spectacular mountain scenery.

Visitors usually begin exploring Shuswap Lake at Sicamous, the service center for Shuswap marine park and center of the houseboat fleet. There are plenty of opportunities to rent marinas and watercraft.

The H-shaped Shuswap Lake has four large arms: Anstey Arm, Seymour Arm, Shuswap Lake Main Arm, and Salmon Arm. The four arms converge at Cinnemousun Narrows, northeast of Sicamous. Glaciers scoured the arms and rounded the surrounding Shuswap Highlands.

In the east, the Eagle River flows down from the Eagle Pass in the Monashees and connects with the lake at Sicamous. The Salmon River flows into the lake at Salmon Arm in the south-west. In the north the Seymour River empties into the Seymour Arm. Countless creeks feed the lake, including Scotch Creek, which runs south to the north shore of the main arm, near the community of Scotch Creek.

The First Nations people known as the Shuswap or Secwepemc are the most northern of the Interior Salish peoples, and their territory encompasses the Shuswap.
