The vegetation around Nicola Lake is characteristic of very dry, warm bunchgrass and sagebrush ecosystems, transitioning into open forest zones. You’ll find extensive grassland plains dominated by blue bunch wheatgrass, June grass, and drought-tolerant shrubs like big sagebrush and rabbitbrush.
Scattered through this grassland are open stands of ponderosa pine and interior Douglas-fir, especially on higher or slightly moister ground. Riparian areas along the lake and its tributaries support black cottonwood and shrub thickets, while pockets of emergent wetland vegetation grow along the shoreline.
Nicola Lake is a playground for water lovers and outdoor adventurers. On the lake’s shore, you can swim, picnic, camp, canoe or kayak, and explore. The lake’s warm, dry climate and consistent winds make it a favorite for windsurfing and sailing, and there are three private resident boat launches for speedboats and general boating.
Fishing is a big draw, too—anglers target kokanee, rainbow trout, and more, and the nearby Nicola River offers excellent spin-casting and fly-fishing opportunities.
Beyond the lake, there’s a wealth of activities on surrounding Crown land. The broader Nicola Valley gives access to rustic camping sites maintained by Recreation Sites and are ideal for those who want a more remote, natural experience. Hiking and mountain biking are popular, with trails winding through dry open forest and grassland terrain, and horseback riding.

Each dish reflects the land, the season, and the spirit of the surrounding landscape.
European settlement around Nicola Lake began in the mid-1800s, when ranchers were drawn to the valley’s rich grasslands and reliable water. One of the earliest and most influential operations was Nicola Ranch, founded in the 1860s and later expanded by pioneering rancher Joseph Guichon, who purchased the property in the late 1800s. By the 1890s the ranch had evolved into a major agricultural hub, supplying cattle, hay, and essential goods to mining towns and early settlements throughout the Thompson, Okanagan, and Similkameen regions. Beyond its economic role, the ranch quickly became a social centre—providing work, hosting travellers, and serving as a key waypoint in what was then a sparsely populated frontier.
The village of Nicola developed naturally beside the ranch and the lake, beginning as a small cluster of service buildings supporting ranch hands, travellers, and homesteaders. By the late 1800s and early 1900s, it had grown to include a post office, general store, blacksmith shop, stables, a school, and family housing tied to the ranch and surrounding homesteads. Its close connection to Nicola Ranch shaped its identity, as most residents worked directly for ranching operations or the transportation networks serving them. Nicola Lake’s role as an important east–west travel route further established the village as a valued regional stopping point.
As transportation improved through new wagon roads—and later rail lines in nearby Merritt—the Nicola Valley emerged as a key corridor for ranching, logging, and trade. Nicola Ranch remained one of the valley’s most prominent agricultural centres, helping anchor the village even as larger communities grew around it. Settlement clustered around Nicola Lake because of its dependable water supply, expansive grassy benches ideal for grazing, natural travel routes linking major regions, and long-established Indigenous trade pathways. Combined with the legacy and influence of Chief Nicola, these factors made the Nicola Lake area one of the most significant early ranching districts in British Columbia.
Just across the lake is the historic Quilchena Hotel which was built in 1908 by Joseph Guichon, a French-Canadian rancher who’d immigrated during the Cariboo Gold Rush and established himself in the Nicola Valley. Designed with “European elegance in a western setting,” the hotel became a stagecoach stop and social hub overlooking Nicola Lake. Business declined during World War I, the rise of the automobile, and Prohibition, and the hotel was closed in 1917. After decades of dormancy, it was lovingly restored and reopened in 1958 by Joseph’s grandson. Today it is owned by the Douglas Lake Cattle Company and offer a great place enjoy a beverage and lunch in the saloon.
