Lake Windermere
One of such places in South East British Columbia is the Columbia River Valley. Resting right between the Rocky Mountains on the eastern end and Purcell range on the western end is the Lake Windermere. It is 17.7 km long and is one of the largest lakes and the warmest in Kootenay.
But this is no ordinary lake! Invermere, a thriving town, is in its northwest corner of this lake, and Windermere community is a few miles down the road towards its east shore. The lake is only three hours drive away from Calgary, and for this reason, it is a tourist’s heaven. During the summer months, the population of this neighborhood swells to more than three times the original.
The Location
Frequently dotted with campgrounds, national parks (including the Kootenay National Park), cottages, three recreational beaches, more than a dozen golf courses (click to view SCOREGolf selects 3 Invermere golf course in Top 59), and several other tourist attractions, Lake Windermere has so much to offer. But it’s not just about spending summers here.
The Invermere municipal management also maintains a 30+ km long track called the Lake Windermere Whiteway. It is the longest in the world of its kind and is present between Windermere and Invermere. There are four different loops of varying lengths, and both families and individuals can enjoy cross-country skiing, skate skiing, ice skating, snowshoeing, fat bike riding, and of course, dog walking.
You can also add family skating pleasure and pond hockey skating rinks. There is no better place in the world when it comes to outdoor ice activity than the Whiteway. The famous Bonspiel-on-the-Lake also takes place every January, and you can participate in snow golf and ice fishing derbies too. Every year more and more visitors are looking to build their summer residences.

Lake Windermere and the Rocky Mountains
Not all Invermere lakefront real estate offers a private waterfront. Some Waterfront properties are part of a community and share beach and boat docks.
As the prices are very high for these properties, you need to hire an expert Invermere real estate agent to assist you in finding your dream home. You may also need to inspect the property carefully on your own and choose the right water. Also, see if there are any insurance requirements that you need to fulfill.
