About

ALL DOGS MUST BE ON A LEASH AT ALL TIMES (for all Kamloops Recreation Sites.

This small rustic site, on the shore of Skmana Lake, provides land-based opportunities to explore the local trail network through non-motorized opportunities (hiking, mountain biking and cross-country skiing) and water opportunities via boat (including fishing on Skmana Lake).

Driving Directions

Located north of Chase, this site is best accessed using the Loakin-Bear Creek Forest Service Road (FSR) near Chase. The overall distance from Chase to Skmana Lake is approximately 16km.

Leave Chase, travelling southwest along the Kamloops Shuswap Road (on the west side of the South Thompson River). Watch for the turn-off to Loakin-Bear Creek FSR on your right (approximately 4 km from the bridge that crosses the South Thompson River). Travel along the Loakin-Bear Creek FSR for approximately 10 km, then turn onto the Skmana Lake FSR and travel for less than 1km until arriving at the recreation site.

Access

Road (4 wheel drive, 2 wheel drive, or motor home)
