Sugar Lake, British Columbia is surrounded by thousands of hectares of dense Okanagan wilderness, as well as lakes, rivers, and streams. The lake is situated 14 km from the quaint countryside community of Cherryville, and around 50 minutes from the city of Vernon. The lake itself is a product of the Sugar lake Dam, which was built in 1929 and turned part of the Shuswap river into what we now call Sugar Lake.
