Located approximately 17 kilometers west of Logan Lake and about 50 kilometers southwest of Kamloops in British Columbia, the surrounding areas of HVC have an abundant offering of outdoor experiences. From golfing in the spring, to camping in the summer, and skiing in the winter, Logan Lake provides excellent access to the wilderness that makes it great place to start your adventure!
