Cultus Lake is an amazing and busy lake, follow these easy boating tips to ensure a safe and spectacular summer!

1. Prepare for the shock of cold water – always wear a life jacket.

2. Alcohol and boating do not mix. Leave the alcohol at home for the after party.

3. Check the forecast. Return to shore immediately if bad weather approaches.

4. Obey all warning signs and buoys around hydroelectric stations and dams; waters can change in a matter of seconds from a scenic calm to a deadly torrent. “Stay Clear, Stay Safe.”

5. Drive powerboats responsibly – use appropriate speed, especially when

the water is choppy.

6. Stay seated! You can easily fall out of a small powerboat, canoe or kayak.

7. Be prepared. Ensure your vessel has the required safety gear on board
and sufficient fuel.

8. Carry a VHF radio or cell phone with you when on the water.

9. Always tell someone where you are going and when you will return.

10. Get trained. Learn how to survive an unexpected fall into the water.

It’s that time of year again…blueberry season is now in full swing up at Cultus Lake!

Nearby The Cottages at Cultus Lake you will discover many agricultural and organic farms; everything from berries and beans to trees and cattle.  That being said, many cottagers and their families anxiously await the opening of the local blueberry “u-pick” farm!

Located on a beautifully manicured acreage in the Columbia Valley, farmers Terry and Anne welcome all Cultus Lake residents and visitors to their organic blueberry farm.  Families get the chance to spend the day together in the field and under the sun picking the largest, juiciest, organic blueberries they will ever taste.

Is there anything better than enjoying a freshly baked blueberry pie at the cottage? Mmmmmmm

Be sure to add the local blueberry u-pick farm to your summer events calendar!

Open most days. 8am – 8pm. Follow the “Blueberry U Pick” road signs along Columbia Valley Hwy.
