Overview
Chase serves as the Gateway to the Shuswap region, positioned at the outlet of Little Shuswap Lake where Chase Creek cascades through town. The village offers a quieter alternative to busier Shuswap destinations, with access to beaches, hiking trails, and the famous Adams River sockeye salmon run at nearby Tsutswecw Provincial Park in early October.
