Many people save their Sun Peaks vacations for the winter months to take advantage of the beautiful, snowy mountains. But did you know there’s tons of activities in the summer months as well? You can find all kinds of fun things to do at Sun Peaks in the summer!
Between hiking the trails and venturing through the towns, you should also plan time to take a trip to nearby Heffley Lake to experience some of the most exciting paddleboarding opportunities in the area.
About Heffley Lake
Heffley Lake, about a 15-minute drive Southwest from Sun Peaks Resort, is a stunning destination you have to see to believe. This destination is quite popular with the anglers of the area since there is a large rainbow trout population living just below the surface of the water. As you make your way to Heffley Lake, you’ll see gorgeous mountains and lush forests on all sides.
Once you arrive, you can, of course, enjoy fishing or swimming. You could also stay on dry land by hiking the local trails, mountain biking, and other Sun Peaks summer activities. But while you’re here, don’t miss the chance to go paddleboarding!
