For the young at heart, we have mini golf, go carts, beach volleyball, wakeboard contests, water parks, a petting zoo, and of course you have to stop at the local D'Dutchmen Dairy for a sampling of their famous ice cream.

Fishing is superb in the spring and fall months. Many fine stories have come from these lakes about the big one that got away. Come and give your luck a try.

Take short day trips to the exciting Sky Trek zip line adventure or the fairytale world of the Enchanted Forest. Walk across the Crazy Creek suspension bridge or check out the wine at Larch Hills Winery.

Winter sports abound in this area as well. Snowmobiling is becoming very popular in the Sicamous area. Four mountain ranges provide miles and miles of wide open territory to roam. Hockey, figure skating, cross country skiing and tobogganing are all part of the Sicamous adventure as well.

For a step back in time, be sure to visit the local museum and the site where the "Last Spike" was driven on the Canadian Pacific Railway line connecting Canada from East to West. As well, visit the Malakwa Suspension Bridge which has been in place crossing the Eagle River since 1918.
