Getting here by car

The drive to Keefer Lake Lodge is beautiful and full of winding rivers, lakes and stunning mountain views. For anyone unfamiliar with driving mountain roads, or those who prefer to relax after the last run of an epic tour, we highly recommend using our simple and convenient shuttle service to get you to our lodge.

Keefer Lake Lodge is on Highway 6 about 85 km southeast of Vernon, BC. It takes just over an hour from Vernon to the lodge. It takes about 2 hours from the Kelowna International Airport (YLW) to the lodge.

Keefer Lake Lodge is accessible by 2WD or AWD vehicles. In the winter, your vehicle must be equipped with winter tires, AWD or 4x4 is recommended. Please drive with caution and watch for other road users – skiers, animals, and vehicles.
