Anglemont combines Lakeview Community Park, a lakeside swimming and picnic area, with boating options at Anglemont Marina. Above the community, the out-and-back trail to Evelyn Falls leads through the North Shuswap forest. Together, these offer distinct options: a lakeside visit, a possible boating outing and a nature excursion.
Time on the Water in Anglemont
Lakeview Community Park is a lakeside swimming and picnic area in Anglemont. Its south-facing beach is more than 200 metres long, and the park has parking for eight to ten cars.
