Lake Windermere is home to every imaginable kind of water sport, all of which can be access via Kinsmen Beach and Park. In summer, there are fishing, boating, kayaking, stand-up paddleboard, canoeing, swimming, water skiing, tubing and more. In winter, over 30 kilometres of looping trails are cleared on the frozen lake to create the Lake Windermere Whiteway, which has the Guinness World Record for world’s longest outdoor skating trail. Individuals and families play on cross-country skis, skates, sleds or just enjoy a crisp winter walk.

Kinsmen Beach and Park is located at the very south end of 4th Avenue just a five minute walk from downtown Invermere.
