Protected Waters and Connected Wilderness

Rich in Heritage, Surrounded by Nature

From sailing to stillwater paddling, Spitfire Lake is built for peaceful recreation. The natural setting is unspoiled, and nearby trails, waterways, and camps offer countless ways to enjoy the outdoors year-round — whether you’re fishing in the summer or skiing in winter quiet.
