• Other British Columbia locations ..

Christina Lake is located along Hwy. 3 in the south-central area of British Columbia known as Boundary Country. It is located 23 kms. east of Grand Forks, just 1 km. north of the U.S. border. The lake is renowned as the "warmest tree-lined lake in Canada" and was voted "BC's favourite lake". The region experiences very hot, dry summers and the lake itself lies above a geo-thermal fault; these two factors are major contributors to the warm water temperatures which average in the 23 c. range during summer.

The year-round population of Christina Lake is approximately 1900 but swells to over 6000 during the summer months. Referred to as the "Oasis of the Kootenays", the resort community of Christina Lake is spread along the shore of the lake, offering some of the best summer weather in BC.

The Trans Canada Trail, Dewdney Trail and the Kettle Valley Railroad Trail all merge at Christina Lake, attracting visitors to the area from all over. The area is frequented by hikers and bikers along the local trails in the lake area.

Christina Lake is not incorporated and there is no true town centre, the area has enormous potential and is still largely undiscovered and underdeveloped. Vacation homes surround the lake and outdoor adventure providers cater to adventure enthusiasts. Considered a great sport fishing lake, it is home to Trout, Small-mouth Bass and Kokanee Salmon which can be found spawning along McRae Creek, each fall.
