Salmon Arm
Salmon Arm sits on the shores of Shuswap Lake in British Columbia's Southern Interior, home to the longest wooden freshwater wharf in North America. A popular summer destination, the town offers beaches, houseboat rentals, golf courses, and camping, with scenic mountain views — including Mount Bastion, whose image appears on British Columbia driver's licences — adding to its strong photographic appeal. A compact centre holds cafés, restaurants, and historic churches within easy reach of the water.
