My husband and I went with our 3 year old son and everyone really enjoyed looking around. My husband and son especially loved looking at the massive collection of chainsaws and saws going back to the beginning of when they were first invented! The host was so helpful answering questions and showing us everything. A nice collection of some antique tractors and cars as well. My 3 year loved the open wheel race car that he was allowed to it in and pretend to drive! Totally worth checking out!

We have visited 3 summers now staying in a relatives holiday cabin and it is still adored by the whole family. A stunning location; the lake has clear waters, mountains and peaceful wilderness all around it. There are plenty of activities to enjoy over summer months - swimming, kayaking, speedboats, watersports, hiking, camp fires, and much more. A truely Canadian experience!
3. Christina Lake Provincial Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 52 reviews
Facilities: Public beach, day-use picnic area, flush toilets, change house. Location: Off Hwy 3, in the town of Christina Lake. Christina Lake has a reputation of being one of the warmest lakes in all of Canada and is very popular with families. With its 300 metres of fine sandy beach, people flock to this swimming destination in the summer months. There is no overnight camping at this location. The closest provincial park campground with overnight accommodation is Gladstone (Texas Creek campground), 10 km east of Christina Lake. Nearby provincial campgrounds that should be able to accommodate last-minute campers in July and August include Boundary Creek, Jewel Lake, and Nancy Greene.

Plenty of parking, short flat walk to beach. Shade near the grass and pinic tables. Plenty of sandy beach. Flush toilets and outhouses. This beach has a great view that makes for a beautiful photo opportunity.

The bathrooms and showers must have undergone a renovation in the past couple of years: every toilet facility has a flush toilet. The shower house is, dare I say, the best I’ve ever come across in public. Props to the park attendants and cleaners. Thoughtful too: they delivered ice and fire wood directly to the site.
