After
a day of Hiking or Fishing guests at Cathedral Lakes Lodge
can enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub, a good meal in the
lodge dinning room and a pleasant evening in front of the
stone fireplace. There are no radios, televisions or even
room phones and many of our guests remark that the lodge is
place where new found friends entertain themselves by engaging
in the lost art of after dinner conversation.
Built
in 1972 the two-story Cathedral Lakes Lodge is a "Bavarian
Style" building. The main floor houses the kitchen, washrooms,
dining room and the lounge with its massive stone fireplace.
The hot tub room is on a mezzanine floor off the dinning room.
Upstairs at Cathedral Lakes Lodge are six guestrooms and two
washrooms with showers. Each guestroom is finished in cedar
paneling and has a basin with hot and cold running water.
Three of the rooms are furnished with double beds and three
with twin beds. The rooms at the front of Cathedral Lakes
Lodge all have a view of Quiniscoe Lake and Pyramid Mountain.
For your convenience we also have several cabins and bungalows
able to accommodate from 2 to 16 guests with the amenities
you require.
Hiking in British Columbia's Cathedral Provincial Park offers
you 33,000-hectare (80,000-acre) of mountain wilderness with
azure lakes, alpine meadows, and jagged peaks lying on the
transition zone between the North Cascade and Okanagan Mountain
Ranges. The entrance to the Park is about 30 km from the town
of Keremeos in Southwestern British Columbia, and Cathedral
Rim Trail is the main attraction. This ridge hike (2500 meters
above sea level) has spectacular views of the North Cascade
and Coast Range mountains, and leads to the unusual geological
formations unique to Cathedral Park. Cathedral Provincial
Park is unique in the diversity it offers photographers.
From
the base camp at the treeline, Cathedral Provincial Park includes
grassland steppe ecosystem, a forest basin, subalpine meadows,
and the "moonscapes" of the rim. In July and August
a profusion of wildflowers can be found within any of these
ecosystems.
The
focal point of the park is the Cathedral Lakes chain. Each
of these seven lakes has a charm of its own. Ladyslipper Lake
is like a "turquoise jewel set in granite", while
Lake of the Woods lays nestled in the sub alpine forest. Four
of the lakes were stocked with cutthroat and rainbow trout
in the 1930's. Today the fish spawn naturally, assuring fishing
opportunities ranging from abundant pan sized cutthroats in
Lake of the Woods and Pyramid Lake to trophy sized rainbow
in Layslipper Lake. Rowboats and canoes are available at Cathedral
Lakes Lodge for fishing on Quiniscoe Lake and our chef will
be happy to fry your catch for you.
| For
those visiting the area that won’t be staying over
night in the park, Cathedral Lakes Lodge operates a special
day trip shuttle up the mountain. This is your opportunity
to experience alpine adventure day trips … to experience
breathtaking alpine vista's … all in Cathedral Provincial
Park. Come stay with us at Cathedral Lakes Lodge, in Cathedral
Provincial Park … its "unsurpassed for sheer
beauty or variety of terrain". |
