Beach It

The Shuswap's City Beach

Canoe Beach Park is a popular, dog-friendly city beach with sandy shores, large shady trees, and a roped-off swimming area.

You'll find beach volleyball courts, washrooms and change facilities, food vendors, picnic tables, and playgrounds — great for families, water lovers with SUP and kayak rentals, and multi-activity adventurers, thanks to its connection to the Park Hill Loop Bike Trail.
