North Okanagan Gem: A Review of Mabel Lake Resort & Marina
Perfectly nestled in the lush mountains of British Columbia, where the forests of the Shuswap intermingle with the Okanagan Valley, sits the incredible Mabel Lake. Here is where you will find one of the region’s most peaceful escapes at the Mabel Lake Resort and Marina. While the Central Okanagan is somewhat overcrowded in the summer months, this golf cart community near Enderby offers visitors a much more relaxed beach vacation.

Whether you’re seeking a North Okanagan lake vacation or a Shuswap holiday rental, this property is near perfect and is an idyllic family vacation getaway.
Lodging: From Rustic Beachfront to Luxury Greens
One of the best things about Mabel Lake Resort is that it can effortlessly accommodate visitors from the RV community to cabin-in-the-woods enthusiasts.
Lakeside Cabins: For a peaceful lakefront vacation with stunning, unobstructed views, look to the beachfront cabins. Here you can wake up to the gentle sound of the waves as the sun peaks over the Monashee Mountains. These lovely cabins have everything one would need, including full kitchens, bathrooms, private patios, and outdoor firepits.
The Heritage House: For larger families, the Heritage House vacation rental would be a much better fit. This house sleeps up to 8 people in 3 bedrooms and features a kitchen, bathroom, patio, and fire pit.
RV Park & Campgrounds: For the road trippers, the resort also offers full RV hookup sites with electricity, water, and sewage. No camping gear, no problem, as they have several fully hooked-up RVs available for rent as well.
Recreation: World-Class Golfing & Water Activities
On the Turf
Aside from gorgeous Mabel Lake, the main land activity is a round of golf on the famous Mabel Lake Golf Course. This 9-hole masterpiece was designed by architect Les Furber and is suitable for players of all skill levels. The fairways weave through lush forests and offer incredible mountain and lake views. To top off a day on the greens, golfers can eat at the course’s very own restaurant, the Clubhouse Lounge.
Golf Cart Rentals: Those interested in renting golf carts for a round of golf or just to cruise around the community can reserve theirs below.
On the Water
The recently updated Mabel Lake Marina is a hub for fun on the water, making it the perfect jump-off point for water sports like waterskiing and wakeboarding.
Boat Rentals: The marina has plenty of watercraft and boat rentals, including Sea Doos, kayaks, and SUP boards.
Fishing: Mabel Lake offers world-class salmon fishing and is home to Rainbow Trout, Chinook Salmon, Kokanee, Lake Trout, and Dolly Varden.
Marina Slips: If visitors choose to bring their own boat, then the resort has marina slips to keep boats safe and secure.
Floating Sauna and Cold Plunge: Visitors can ask the resort staff about booking an hour in the brand new floating sauna and cold plunge. It is an aesthetically pleasing cedar-lined sauna with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains and a cold plunge that uses the lake’s chilly water.
Resort Amenities & The Fly-In Lifestyle
Visitors who need supplies can find them at the Mabel Lake General Store & Liquor Agency, which offers a great selection of Okanagan wines, everyday essentials, camping gear, and even stylish Mabel Lake clothing and hats. Right below is the Beach Café, where they serve comfort foods such as poutine and ice cream.
One of the most unique parts about the community is the Mabel Lake Airpark. Aviation enthusiasts can land and take off from a well-maintained 2,900-foot private grass airstrip.
Whether you’re planning a beachfront destination wedding, a family vacation, or a fishing getaway, Mabel Lake Resort perfectly evokes the classic lakeside cabin feeling while maintaining modern amenities.
