Why choose a trail at Adams Lake?
Adams Lake is a large, deep, coldwater lake. The southern end of the lake is approximately 30 km (19 mi) north of the town of Chase in the Shuswap Country region of British Columbia, Canada. The lake's upper reaches lie in the northern Monashee Mountains, while its lower end penetrates the Shuswap Highland. The lake is 63 km (39 mi) long and between 1.6 km and 3.2 km (1 to 2 miles) wide. The surface elevation is 404 meters (1,326 feet) above sea level. The lake is very deep; it is the second deepest lake in British Columbia next to Quesnel Lake with a maximum depth of 500 meters (1500 feet). Water flows into the lake though many tributaries (most notably the Upper Adams River, Momich River, and Bush Creek). The water drains from the lake into the Lower Adams River which is home to a very large and famous sockeye salmon run which attracts many visitors to the region each year. From there the water flows into Shuswap Lake, and down the Thompson River. Though a few villages exist along Adams Lake, the vast majority of the lake is undeveloped. The lack of development is partially due to the nature of the shoreline, which is mostly sheer rock faces or steep, stony beaches. Few recreationally suitable beaches exist naturally on the lake. Some man-made sandy beaches have been constructed for public use. (see "Adams Lake Provincial Park")Adams Lake is a beautiful, serene lake located in the heart of British Columbia's pristine wilderness. The crystal-clear waters are surrounded by lush forest and towering mountains, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. Visitors can enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking on the lake, or simply take in the stunning scenery. There are also several hiking trails that wind through the surrounding forest, providing a great opportunity to explore the area. Adams Lake is a wonderful place to visit any time of year, and is sure to leave visitors feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
