Boating is popular. The nearby Marina has short-term docking and rents seadoos, a power boat and a pontoon boat. There are also kayaks and canoes available and people ride tubes down the river. Here we are docking our boat to pick up friends.
Go hiking. There are many trails up mountains and along rivers. We can explain some of them. Here, we are hiking with an elder college group. There are also interesting geo-cache sites nearby.
Cycle here and there! We are at the west end of the Trans-Canada Trail and expect direct links to Victoria and Nanaimo in the near future. We welcome cycling guests. This group is continuing their journey.
The Honeymoon Bay Ecological Reserve is a popular place in April and June when native plants are at their best.
Our local museum tells the story of forestry in the lake area. During the May Long weekend they celebrate Heritage Days
