About the Shuswap Area...
Salmon Arm is conveniently located on Big Shuswap Lake BC along the Trans-Canada Highway approximately half-way between the major centres of Calgary, AB to the east & Vancouver, BC to the west. The area is known to some older folks as the site of the famous "Trudeau salute" back in 1982. It's a unique place to live: with a wonderful balance of modern infrastructure, including rich assets of arts & culture, yet the pace is comfortable & uncongested.
The area's centrepiece & crown jewel is Big Shuswap Lake itself. The crystal clear warm waters & 4 season outdoor recreational opportunities are highly desirable. Known as the "Houseboat Capital of Canada", Shuswap Lake boasts 1,600 kilometres of shoreline & is surrounded by an impressive setting of mountains, forests & valley farmlands. The rural geography creates a very attractive panorama admired by both local residents & visitors alike.
