    Hiking

    The unusual thing about the lake is that it drains off in two directions, Flash Lake in the south and Similkameen River in the north.
    Swimming is possible, there is a boat rental and many hiking trails.

    From here you can start the trails around the lake (Lightning Lake Trail), Windy Joe Mountain and Frosty Mountain, as well as the Lightning Lakes Chain.

    Hiking

    E.C. Manning Provincial Park (Manning Park) lies in the Cascade Mountains along the Canada-United States border. The park is accessed on British Columbia Highway 3 east of Hope. Four campgrounds for summer camping are located along the road close to Lightning Lake at an altitude of about 1,300 m.
