Christina Lake's beauty and recreation
opportunities extend far beyond what is considered by many
to be one of Canada's finest family summer resort vacation
opportunities. While the heat of the summer sun and the tranquility
of the lake bring tourists back year after year and generation
after generation, there is an amazing 'off-season' recreational
paradise that locals and lucky travelers enjoy. The Christina
Lake area even supports the adrenalin rush that hardcore outdoor
enthusiasts travel the globe for. Eco-Tourists have silently
been making repeat trips and experiencing everything nature
has to offer in this area, yet preserving its anonymity. Christina
Lake maintains a year round population of roughly 1500 but
those numbers swell in the summer time as snow birds return
and visitors flock to this area from all over the world. For
people that are vacationing here for the first time be prepared
- you could find yourself coming back year after year like
the rest that have made this area their home away from home.
- Mountain Biking - this could be the very
spot in the Country. From beginner to white knuckle trails
there is something for everyone.
- Water Sports - there is fishing, swimming,
boating, water skiing, - or just lounging. The water is warm
and clean and inviting.
- Hiking - The Trans Canada Trail, Dewdney
Trail and the Kettle Valley Railroad Trail all merge at Christina
Lake as well there are day and overnight Trails surrounding
the area and for all levels of hikers.
- Winter Sports - Red Mountain is only a
45 minute drive for excellent skiing or snow boarding and
Phoenix Mountain is an easy drive away.
- Sightseeing - is everywhere. This area
has a colorful history from the pictographs the Indians
left on the rocks along the shores of Christina Lake, to
the European settlers and the miners of the day and everything
that came with them as they tried to strike it rich.
