Columbia Lake Hike

This was a fun place to drive to. You must access this place via a well maintained dirt road. Once you get to the parking lot, it’s a nice 1/4 mile hike down hill to the lake beach. My kids went in for a swim....More

Gorgeous lookouts, lovely scenic valley

We stayed in Invermere, and were able to enjoy the views of the Columbia river valley every day, from various viewpoints and during different times of the day. Very beautiful landscape, with interesting towns along the way. Any photo taken here was excellent!

once is ok

Close to Fairmont, beautiful road along the Columbia river. But very bumpy, way too many potholes. Road signs unclear; we couldn't find a proper way to get close to the lake so eventually carried our canoe down a steep hill. Beach gravely and reedy. No...More

Not fun

Other reviews said popular trail, easy, fun. It was hard to find...how a provincial park can have so many pot holes blows my mind...the trail was bumpy, not much scenery...I wouldn't do it again!
