Summer Lake Fun
Put on your bathing suit and dive off the 60 foot floating dock into the swimmer friendly lake (no leeches here!) or pull yourself back and forth from shore to the dock on the “Jolly Rodger Pirate Ship” floating barge (always a favorite for the young kids).
Bring your beach toys and build sandcastles, or spread out your beach blanket and soak up the sun. Grab a life jacket and take out a canoe, paddle boat or an aluminum row boat, at no charge, and explore the shore line and little islands of the 2 mile long lake. Be bold and try cliff jumping. |

Winter Activities
Bring your snowmobiles, snow shoes, skis (Nordic ski/snowshoe track is just 5km from the resort, Big White only 20 minutes), ice fishing supplies and ice-skates for lake skating (ice dependent). Lots of tobogganing areas on the resort, and have fun building forts with the piles of snow.

Catch Some Fish
Idabel Lake is stocked annually with Rainbow and Brook trout. In the summer bring your fishing rod, worms, net, tackle and electric motor and use one of the free aluminum row boats. Kids love to walk along the shore and use their long handled kiddy nets to catch crayfish.
In the winter dress warm and bring your auger and ice fishing equipment. Even if you don’t catch “the BIG one….A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work !” |
