Why The Shuswap?

To say the Shuswap has a piece of my heart is an understatement—it has my whole heart, my soul, and even after 12 years of living here, it still captivates me every single day.

There’s truly no place in the world quite like the Shuswap. Where else can you snowmobile in the morning, play 18 holes of golf in the afternoon, and end the day with a sunset swim in the lake or a peaceful evening fishing along the shoreline?

In the Shuswap, you can pull out of your driveway and—within 20 minutes in any direction—find yourself on a new kind of adventure. Whether you're chasing the thrill of cliff jumping off Copper Island, standing in awe beneath a waterfall, hiking to panoramic viewpoints, or exploring the rich culture of the Secwépemc people, this region is overflowing with unforgettable experiences.

You can spend your morning wandering through vibrant farmers’ markets, sampling local honey, fresh produce, and handmade treasures. Or sip your way through the Shuswap’s charming wineries, indulge in the flavors of local restaurants, sway to live music at “Music in the Park,” and soak in the beauty of a Shuswap sunset that never fails to impress.

The Shuswap truly has something for everyone—adventure seekers, nature lovers, foodies, families, and those simply looking to slow down and breathe it all in.

At Seasonal Escapes, we feel so lucky to share this slice of paradise with travelers from around the world. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, the Shuswap has a way of making you feel right at home… and leaving you dreaming about your next escape.
