Stock up on strawberries, raspberries, flowers and vegetables at this 40-acre farm near Mara Lake. Call ahead to tour the farm and pick your own fruit.
Anstey-Hunakwa Provincial Park offers visitors a variety of landscapes in a more secluded section of the Shuswap area. Old-growth forests surround two lakes that cannot be reached by road, a rarity for the area. The sandy beaches and flourishing salmon habitat attract recreational enthusiasts while the peaceful setting attracts nature lovers. Wilderness camping is permitted within the park.
