Welcome to Sicamous, BC, a community that perfectly sits at the junction of Shuswap Lake and Mara Lake. Known worldwide as the Houseboat Capital of Canada, Sicamous is much more than just a summer destination; it is a vibrant, tight-knit community where the spirit of adventure is matched only by the warmth of its people.
Life Between the Lakes
In Sicamous, life is defined by the water. During the summer, the channel is a parade of houseboats and happy faces, while the shores of Mara Lake offer some of the most beautiful sandy beaches in the Okanagan-Shuswap region. But don’t let the summer sun fool you—Sicamous is a true four-season playground. When the snow falls, the town becomes a premier destination for snowmobilers, with the legendary Eagle Pass offering some of the best alpine riding in North America.
