This area is rich in tales of fur traders, gold seekers and cattle ranchers.
The lake is well known for its kokanee fishing as well as it's trophy size lake trout. During the summer months, the Lac La Hache area attracts anglers, boats, swimmers, and water skiers. Many resorts, offering camping and cabins are located on the lakeshore, as well as a British Columbia Provincial Campground.
