Perfect for a weekend escape

Just a short drive from downtown CB, lake Irwin is absolutely gorgeous. Situated on the lake with stunning mountain views in every direction. Zero cell service means you can focus on pretty much any outdoor activity you can think of. Lake access for kayaks, SUP, swimming, some good fishing spots…
