A growing range of activities ensures visitors can find plenty of things to do, whether they seek relaxed solitude in an untouched fiord or mountain environment, or the challenge of hunting wapiti through untamed forest.

Horse treks, 4WD farm bikes and a huge number of walking options allow visitors to explore mixed terrain and outstanding vistas of the lake, farmland and mountains. A visit to the underwater observatory or a guided dive tour allows access to sights rarely revealed to human visitors. Boat trips provide a means to explore the beautiful waters of the fiords, lakes and rivers, and give excellent fishing opportunities.
