Christina Lake Provincial Park

If you’re here to check out the lake, located less than a kilometer down the hill from Cascade Cove on Highway #3 is the Provincial Park and public beach on Christina Lake. A large beautiful sandy beach awaits the visitor. Christina Lake is known as the warmest tree-lined lake in BC. Boating and fishing are favorite sports, check it out while staying with us at Cascade Cove!

Gladstone Provincial Park and Texas Creek Provincial Campground

About 5 Km east of Christina Lake Village, turn off Hwy 3 onto East Lake Drive for about 4 km (2.6 miles) to the campground at Texas Creek, where there is a camp host and general information on the park posted near the gate. The swimming, boating and water sports found in the clear, warm waters of Christina Lake are excellent, perhaps some of the best found in British Columbia. Throughout the park there are a number of small individual beach areas making for a great place to go kayaking, canoeing, water-skiing, SCUBA diving or just plain relaxing. The entrance to the Gladstone Park also offers free boat launching and access to the lake. A perfect family day trip!

Trans Canada Trail (Kettle Valley Railway)

Opening in 2000, the Trans Canada Trail is a 21,500-kilometre recreational trail winding its way through every province and territory, from the Atlantic to Pacific to Arctic Oceans. When completed, it will be the world's longest recreational trail, linking close to 1000 communities and over 33 million Canadians.

The Kettle is a special river, providing some of the best river fishing opportunities in the region. The Kettle, West Kettle and Granby support several important fish stocks, including species at risk and native rainbow trout stock that grow larger than 50 cm.
When practicing proper catch and release, anglers need to remember to keep the fish in the water, get their photographer ready, hold the fish up for a few seconds to take a photo, then place the fish back in the water. The longer the fish is held out of the water, the more stress to the fish, and likely higher mortality, especially in high water temperature conditions. Also, anglers need to be reminded not to drag their fish up onto the shore – a bare wet hand is the best for a released fish.
