Otter Lake Cabins at Otter Lake, Tulameen, British Columbia, Canada
Have you been searching for a peaceful, outdoor retreat for the entire family to enjoy? Do you want to relax in luxury on a lake with breathtaking views with all the amenities you could dream of? Otter Lake Cabins (www.otterlakecabins.ca) on Otter Lake in the beautiful British Columbia wilderness is the place you've been looking for.
Beautiful, pristine and picturesque Otter Lake is nestled in the Similkameen Valley in the south west Okanagan by the small, historic town of Tulameen, British Columbia. The community of Tulameen is in the Tulameen Valley which is located approximately 3.5 hours east of Vancouver, British Columbia. Otter Lake is about 4.5 kilometers long and fed by fresh mountain run-off and natural spring water.
Located on the east end of the lake is Otter Lake Provincial Park surrounded by the Cascade Mountain Range. Large numbers of otter, beaver and red squirrel inhabit the area, as well as, mountain goats, cougars and grizzly bears. This very popular lake covers about 290 hectares (716 acres) at an elevation of 823 m (2700 ft.)
Tulameen, an historic gold, platinum, and coal mining town, has long been one of British Columbia's popular recreational areas, offering hiking, fishing, canoeing, tubing, swimming, water-skiing, cross-country skiing, gold panning, horse back riding, ATV-ing, ice-skating, snow mobiling and many other activities for both the summer and winter outdoor enthusiasts. Common species of freshwater fish that can be found in the lake are Kokanee, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow (formerly N. Squawfish), Steelhead and Torrent Sculpin. A scenic 2 hour bike ride will take you around the lake along the Trans Canada Trail. Once your trip is done you can stop in at the quaint Tulameen General Store for an ice-cream or other refreshments.
Other amenities also include: a restaurant, post office, liquor store, video rentals, bike rentals (Crossroads Bike Rentals), community centre, outdoor skating rink, library, volunteer fire department, and skidoo dealer & repair centre.
The community of Tulameen and the Tulameen River derive their name from a Thompson Indian word meaning 'red earth'. A steep bank of the Tulameen River of about four miles north of Princeton was the source of the much-prized red ochre for which the Indians travelled from great distances to get. The settlement of Tulameen was earlier known as Campement des Femmes, or Otter Flat. It sits between the eastern bank of the Tulameen River and the Southern end of Otter Lake. There are about 250 residents here but this number grows in the summer months.
There are many beautiful rental homes and cabins along the shores of Otter Lake. Some of the most popular, beautiful and luxurious are Otter Lake Cabins (www.otterlakecabins.ca).
