Nimpo Lake: Water, Trails and Grassland

At Nimpo Lake, expansive stretches of water and quiet shores invite you to spend time outdoors. Families can choose from a range of activities: time on the water, fishing or a walk along the Nimpo Lake Low Mobility Trail. When choosing a vacation rental or holiday home, you can consider which of these activities you’d like to shape your stay.

Scenery on the Interior Plateau

Nimpo Lake is on the Interior Plateau, surrounded by the Coastal Mountains and rolling grassland. Its setting gives the area a landscape that extends beyond the lake itself. Travellers who consider the surroundings as well as activities when choosing a destination will find water, mountains and hillsides as distinct aspects of the same nature getaway. Nimpo Lake may appeal to travellers looking not only for a single activity, but also to experience the destination’s landscape.

Canoeing, kayaking and fishing

The expansive stretches of water and quiet shores are well suited to canoeing and kayaking. If you enjoy paddling, you can consider Nimpo Lake as a destination for activities on the water. The lake is also known for a healthy population of rainbow trout. You can fish from the shore or from a canoe.

The Nimpo Lake Low Mobility Trail

The Nimpo Lake Low Mobility Trail offers another way to spend time outdoors. It is about 1.1 kilometres long, has a compacted gravel surface and a gentle incline. Along the way, there are views of the forest and wetlands. The trail’s length, surface and incline provide specific details that can help you decide whether to include it in your day’s plans. Benches and rest areas are also available along the trail, as is an accessible washroom. Signage at the trailhead identifies the Nimpo Lake Community Trails Network, and a map of the trail network is located there. The trail thus offers both a walk in its own right and a way to find your bearings in the community trail network.

Another way to travel

The Turner Lake Chain can be reached from Nimpo Lake by floatplane. If you’re considering a floatplane connection to another destination as part of your trip, this accessibility is another factor to consider when choosing a holiday destination.
