Situated in the scenic Skagit Valley, Silver Lake Provincial Park is a small, largely undeveloped lakefront area. Visitors can enjoy fishing, picnicking and boating (10hp motor limit) against a spectacular mountain backdrop or take pleasure in a rustic camping experience.

Sucker’s Creek in Hope, BC is not only a fantastic place to watch spawning salmon, it is also a great place to take your kids for a swim away from the large crowds you will likely find at Kawkawa Lake. During the hot summer days, Sucker’s Creek offers a nice swimming hole with comfortable water temperatures, and if you stick around late enough in the day, you may have the whole area to yourself. The best time of the year to visit Sucker’s creek for swimming is mid-late summer. By this time the Coquihalla River will be lower and reveal a nice sandbar where you can comfortably relax. The water will be warm due to the shallow water and hot weather. If you visit earlier in the spring or summer, the water will still be high, a bit cooler and you’ll have to find a comfortable spot on the rocky shore.

Lightning Lakes in Manning Provincial Park offer a serene escape with activities like swimming, canoeing, and picnicking amidst stunning natural beauty. Explore the beauty of nature!

Nahatlach Provincial Park is characterized by scenic mountain peaks and glaciers, old growth forests, and a unique lake and river system. Nahatlatch protects one of the largest intact wetlands remaining in the Lower Mainland. A series of small streams flow into, out of, and between the three lakes in the park; Frances, Hannah, and Nahatlach. Their waters drain into the Nahatlach River, which is 20 km upstream from its confluence with the Fraser.The powerful Nahatlach River features a spectacular series of rapids, ideal for river rafting and kayaking. Those seeking a more tranquil experience will enjoy canoeing around and between the placid lakes, swimming in the backwater pools, and fishing along the lakeshores. Other activities for summer recreationists include backcountry hiking, and bird and wildlife viewing, and camping in a rustic setting.Photo credits: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://liquidlore.com/bc/nahatcanyon/">http://liquidlore.com/bc/nahatcanyon/</a>
