Suncruiser Magazine Shuswap 2020 Back Issue

Recreational boating is one of the few outdoor pastimes that allow you to really get away from it all. Rise at the break of dawn to fish for rainbow trout, escape the crowds for the day on the water, or simply find a quiet anchorage to stay for longer periods. This and whole lot more can be enjoyed on Shuswap Lake and in the surrounding area, whether it's just you and a loved one or your whole family. The Shuswap is a special place not only in the present, but throughout its rich past. A storied history that's well documented, this is where the Secwepemc First Nations first settled well before it evolved into a thriving fur trading route; it's the site where the Hudson Bay Company launched its first steamer, and is even the historic home where the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed in the late 1800d. Although much has changed, the serene beauty of Shuswap Lake remains the same.
