WRAGGE BEACH

Popular drive to campsite on Slocan Lake. Wragge Beach is one of the prettiest beaches on Slocan Lake.

The spacious campsites along the lake shore are shaded by trees. A wide beach that curves gently for several hundred meters in both directions is safe for youngsters and invites beach walking. A rocky outcrop extends out into the lake, making a scenic shoreline. This site is a popular destination campsite for vacationing families. The lake offers good fishing, boating, swimming and board sailing. Four walk-in sites at the south end along the shore are best for kayakers.
There is always a camp host who collects fees for camping.

If one tires of lazy beach days, a hike into Shannon Lake or Wragge Lake should satisfy the urge to stretch the legs.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
