CANIM LAKE


CANIM LAKE

Is a small unincorporated community and first nations reserve, 38 kilometers east of 100 Mile House in the South Cariboo region of British Columbia. The community is the gateway approach to many resorts including Mahood Falls and Canim Beach. The lake itself is very large about 37 kilometers long and is home to many fish including “laker” or char and also it touches the western end of Wells Grey Provincial Park. The community has many activities including horseback riding, bird-watching, fishing, and water activities, like water-skiing and tubing. The Shuswap (Secwepemc) First Nation has a base in the community and the name Canim is a Chinook Jargon trade language term for “canoe”.
