Christina Lake is one of the best family vacation destinations in Western
Canada. Located just 45 miles west of Castlegar on Highway #3, Christina Lake
offers some of the best summer climate, a sandy warm swimming lake and an all-season
playground.
The Christina Lake area also holds an interesting history. The earliest
inhabitants of the area were the Kootenai Indians, more than 2,000 years ago. Today
their pictographs can be found in Texas Point Provincial Park on the eastern shore.
In 1896, the CPR Railway reached Christina Lake and the Blueberry Paulson Pass, the main
artery from Christina Lake to Castlegar and Trail, was opened in 1962.
Today, you can take advantage of all the good things the community offers. The outdoor
enthusiast can enjoy any number of pastimes including golfing, fishing, boating, river
kayaking, snowmobiling and more.
