Christina Lake is home to approximately 1456 permanent residents in the winter and thousands more in the summer months. The lake is 19 km. long and more then 180 meters deep in some sections. The warm water temperatures can be attributed to the fact that a sizeable fault runs through the middle of the lake which supplies constant geothermal heat to the lake making it the "warmest tree-lined lake in Canada", making it a popular vacation destination.

Christina Lake isn't just a summer destination, the fun and adventure extends throughout the year offering something for everyone. Recreation opportunities are in abundance at Christina Lake with such attributes as the Trans Canada Trail and the Kettle Valley Railway with its newly decked and hand-railed trestles. There's also the golfing, the Cascade Falls view site, as well as cross-country skiing, Snowmobiling, horseback tours, and snow shoeing just to name a few. There are also two ski hills within a 45 minute drive of Christina Lake both to the East and the West.
