Vaseux
Lake is a popular
destination for adventurers and wildlife viewers. The 12 hectare
nature sanctuary is home to many species of wildlife - land,
water and air. To help things along there is even an onsite
wildlife centre providing information on the local wildlife
and habitat.
The Vaseux Lake scenery and
wildlife attracts artists and wildlife photographers from
around the world. It also attracts fisherman, in non motorized
boats, hoping to catch bass, rainbow trout or carp. And..
it attracts campers and kayakers who enjoy a good paddle.
Campers stay at any of the 12
campsites in the park. The Vaseux Lake Provincial Park campground
facilities include pit toilets, maintained sandy beach, running
water, firewood and a wildlife centre.
The wildlife of the Vaseux Lake
Park area is a big draw for many who stay in the area and
for the many who come as part of a day trip. A set of binoculars
is a big item on a trip to Vaseux Lake Park for spotting wildlife
like Bighorn Sheep grazing in the surrounding cliffs and,
any of the many, birds visiting the lake.
The main attraction for many
is the bird watching opportunities in this park. There are
opportunities to view Canyon Wrens, Burrowing Owls, Trumpeter
Swans, Wood Ducks, Great Horned Owls, woodpeckers, Golden
Eagles and Blue Winged Teals and Chukar Partridges.
The hiking trails in the park
enable visitors to view toads, turtles, muskrats, beavers,
rabbits, deer and even rattle snakes. During winter season
the lake is a popular winter wonderland with skating on the
frozen lake and ice fishing..
