About this site

Source

Right on the lakefront at Steamboat Lake, near Invermere, this is a small semi-open site with the water about 0.1 km from where you park. Fishing is the reason most people make the trip.

There are three sites, first come, first served. The access calls for a 4x4, and the site is user-maintained, so pack out everything you bring.

Brisco is about 9 km away and a Race Trac sits at the same distance, which is unusually close for a site that needs this kind of vehicle to reach.
