About
Kamloops sits where the North and South Thompson Rivers meet, in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. It is a sunny city that suits visitors who want the outdoors close at hand, with a town centre that still carries a sense of its western past.
Lakes and water
The city is known as the tournament capital of British Columbia, and it is surrounded by more than 100 lakes. Depending on the season, these make good places for fishing, boating and swimming, and they give the area a relaxed, open-air character.
Trails, courses and history
- Hiking trails of varying difficulty in the surrounding landscape
- Golf courses for players who want a round in an interior setting
- The Kamloops Heritage Railway, which appeals to anyone interested in the region's rail history
Kamloops blends its western heritage with modern amenities, so a visit can include time on the water, a walk or a ride on the railway, and the everyday comforts of a full city. It works well as a base for a few days of outdoor activity, or as a stop on a longer journey through British Columbia.
