Tunkwa Lake Resort, one of British Columbia’s premier fishing destinations!

Picturesque Tunkwa Lake is world famous for it’s extra large Kamloops Rainbow trout. And, because of the abundance and size of these trout, Tunkwa Lake was chosen as a venue lake for the 1993 World Fly Fishing Championships.

Tunkwa Lake’s elevation is 3,750’/1168m which can mean cool evenings even in mid-summer but we enjoy about 2000 hours of sunshine and warm days per year, and are fortunate to have very few mosquitoes or biting bugs. Our resort is surrounded by Provincial Park lands, adding to the peaceful setting. The surrounding area is a mixture of pine trees and open meadows with many hiking and biking trails leading from the resort, so bring your hiking boots and bicycles. The plentiful bird life includes numerous ducks, geese, owls, loons and prey birds. In the hills around the lake, you can find moose, both white tailed and mule deer, even an unique opportunity to view herds of wild horses! There are many wildlife photo opportunities. Quads, ATV’s and off-road motorcycles must be trailered off-site to unloading areas a couple minutes away, then hit the trails from there, they cannot be ridden out of the resort until later hunting season.
