St.Ives is close to the middle of Shuswap Lake and this 1226 sq ft suite is across a quiet road from a beautiful sandy beach and the St. Ives on Shuswap Time-share Resort. The lake is one of the few lakes in British Columbia that has an annual tide; there are no dams on the river flowing from the lake to the Pacific Ocean. St. Ives has a mild climate. The summer season often extends from May to October and the start of the famous Adams river Salmon run brings visitors from all over the world. A Golf Course and Marina are nearby. Shopping and more year-round recreational activities are within 30km (18 mi). Lake-related activites include swimming, boating, water-skiing, tubing, fishing and white-water rafting. Rentals are available locally. Winter sports are also a feature of the area. The staging area for the Crowfoot Mountain Snowmobile area is less than thirty mins. drive from St. Ives. The area has over 20 sq.km. (8 sq.mi.) of groomed, un-groomed and alpine areas at elevations greater than 2100m (6800 ft).
