Sicamous is where Shuswap and Mara Lakes meet, and daily life naturally tilts toward the water. Canada’s houseboating capital hums with summer energy as locals and visitors push off from the District of Sicamous waterfront and the docks at Twin Anchors Houseboats. Sandy beaches, calm coves, and a friendly channel make paddling, swimming, and fishing part of the weekly rhythm. On land, you’ll find fairways with sweeping lake views at Hyde Mountain Golf Course, family events at community parks, and year-round trail access, including the developing Shuswap North Okanagan Rail Trail. When winter rolls in, deep snow and groomed terrain on Owlhead, Blue Lake, and Queest lure riders maintained by the Sicamous Snowmobile Club.
Families value strong local schools—Parkview Elementary and Eagle River Secondary—and a compact town center with groceries, cafes, and everyday services. Commuters appreciate easy highway connections to larger hubs like Salmon Arm, Revelstoke, and Vernon for work, shopping, and specialized care, while coming home to quieter streets, starry nights, and a close-knit community. Housing options range from lake-access cottages and townhomes to acreages on the hillsides, making it appealing for both full-time residents and vacation-home seekers who want four-season recreation without sacrificing convenience.
