Your closest airport options.
Kelowna International
Roughly 2 hours away by car. The closest major airport, with regular direct flights from across Canada and the US.
Kamloops Airport
About 1.5 hours away. A smaller regional airport with domestic connections — often a quicker option from within BC.
Vancouver International
5.5 hours by car but Canada's largest west-coast hub. Ideal if you're flying in from overseas or need international connections.
Your route to Sicamous.
From the West (Vancouver, Kamloops, Kelowna)
Take the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 1) east. Pass through Kamloops and continue toward Salmon Arm. Sicamous is a 25-minute drive past Salmon Arm along the same highway.
From the East (Calgary, Revelstoke)
Take the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 1) west. From Revelstoke, it's a straight one-hour drive through the mountains along the highway — one of BC's most scenic stretches of road.
From Kelowna & the Okanagan
Head north on Highway 97, then east on the Trans-Canada Highway toward Salmon Arm. The full drive takes roughly 2 hours through vineyard country and along the Shuswap.

Two lakes, minutes away.
Heritage Hill does not have direct lake access, but both Shuswap Lake and Mara Lake public beaches are a short drive from the property.
Shuswap Lake Public Beach
Spend the day swimming, sunbathing, or paddling in one of British Columbia's most beloved lake systems. Perfect for family beach days and casual lakeside afternoons.
Mara Lake Public Beach
Quieter than Shuswap, Mara Lake offers warm waters, sandy shorelines, and great conditions for boating, paddleboarding, and swimming through the summer months.
