There are extensive areas of old-growth forest in the Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir and Interior Cedar-Hemlock zones. Included in the park are two lakes that cannot be reached by road (a rarity in the Shuswap area) – Hunakwa Lake and Wright Lake.
The north end of Anstey Arm is more accessible (but only by boat), and is valued for its recreational opportunities (sandy beaches) and salmon habitat. MARINE SITES
ANSTEY BEACH Located at the head of Anstey Arm of Shuswap Lake, 18 km north of Cinnemousun Narrows, this secluded park on the delta of the Anstey River, is surrounded by a forest of large cedars and old cottonwoods. A warm, south-facing camping area features a white sandy swimming beach and views down Anstey Arm.
Caution: watch for shallow sandbars and changing lake levels when approaching the beach.
West of the park, an easy 1.5 km hiking trail follows Hunakwa Creek through old growth forest to beautiful Hunakwa Lake. Moose, deer, cougar, black bear, and mountain goat inhabit the Monashee wilderness beyond.
