Why choose Mara Lake for your Shuswap vacation?
Mara Lake gives families the lake vacation they came to the Shuswap to find: warm water, mountain views, beach days, boating and long summer evenings by the shore.
It is close to Sicamous and connected to the broader Shuswap experience, while still feeling relaxed, personal and easy to settle into. For many guests, that balance is the difference between taking a trip and creating a tradition.
