Kalamalka Lake

Kalamalka Lake is a must-visit destination for all paddlers. Known as the “Lake of a Thousand Colours,” Kalamalka is a marl lake, which means it’s a unique body of water where bottom sediments contain large deposits of calcium carbonate-rich mud or clay known as “marl.” As the water warms throughout the summer, the dissolved calcium carbonate crystallizes causing the turquoise waters to shift in colour. The lake also boasts hidden beaches and rocky shorelines that are perfect for exploring by kayak, canoe, and paddleboard. Plus, the warm water makes it an ideal spot for a midsummer swim.
