Little Shuswap Lake is a bigger lake to paddle in our area.   A circuit around the entire lakeshore is 19 km.   On a mild fall day, we paddled over 16 km, returning by the southeast shoreline.

The best place to launch is at the Chase Memorial Park.

The far eastern shore is 7 km down the lake under the slopes of Squilax Mountain.

Beaches line the shoreline of the Little Shuswap Indian Reserve.   The Adams Plateau highlands rise to the northeast of the lake.

Little River runs from Shuswap Lake to Little Shuswap Lake for 3.5 km.   All the migrating salmon follow this river upstream in the fall.

Little Shuswap Lake is a big enough lake to get some strong winds so paddlers should check the forecast before venturing out.   This day, though, was a calm and sunny one, a fine day for a kayak on the lake.
