A Place Of Beauty

Good day to everyone and the very best for 2006.

Today’s post is on a place close to home, Heffley Lake. Just 30 minutes North of Kamloops, British Columbia Heffley Lake offers year round activities. If you are looking for a little R & R and a vast selection of outdoor activities, this area of British Columbia is the place for you. There are a couple of resorts on the lake:

Heffley Lake Resort and The Hitch n Rail

There are Bed and Breakfast’s, a forestry campground, and the Heffley Creek Store is just 15 minutes down the road. Here is a picture of Heffley Lake courtesy of my dear friend Sonya. Friends in the peddle boat Summer 2005.

Approximately 30 minutes up the road from Heffley Lake there is Sun Peaks Ski Resort (see links on the side bar). They offer great skiing during the winter months, a golf course and mountain biking in the summer. This area of B.C. is beautiful and there are moments when mother nature takes your breath away.

I fell in love with this place 10 years ago and am thankful to have this playground for year round leisure. I have shared many picnics at the day use area, floated sunny days around the lake and have watched my friends children learn how to swim. During the winter there is ice fishing and the ambiance of the winter fire and marshmallow roast. The crisp winter air, hot tottie in hand and the laughter. These are some of my experiences at Heffley Lake. I am thankful to live in the great outdoors. There is a different smell to the air and the noise pollution is almost non existent. Check out the links to the resorts and have a wonderful day. Love and Light Colleen.
