A wide, sandy shoreline and deep blue water just south of Cranbrook.
Moyie Lake Provincial Park sits about 20 kilometres south of Cranbrook along Highway 3/95 and offers the only public access to the clear, deep waters of Moyie Lake. Established in 1959, the park has long been a warm-weather gathering place for swimming, boating, and long days spent near the water.
The park features more than a kilometre of developed sandy beach backed by a large grassy area, making it easy to spread out, picnic, or settle in for the afternoon. Calm mornings suit paddling and swimming, while breezier days bring opportunities for sailing and windsurfing. Speedboats and watersports are also permitted, adding to the range of ways people use the lake.
A 111-site campground, day-use area, and boat launch make the park accessible for both short visits and overnight stays. On-site amenities include hot showers and an adventure playground, while wildlife and bird viewing are common throughout the area. Fishing is popular as well, with kokanee and lingcod among the regular catches.
Surrounded by mountains and open sky, Moyie Lake Provincial Park works just as well for active days on the water as it does for quiet time on the beach. It’s a simple, well-loved place to slow down, swim out a little farther, or stay put and watch the light move across the lake.
