Sun-soaked days and non-stop lake memories.

Summer 2026 at Newgate Sandy Shores gave us everything we could’ve asked for:

Endless hours out on Lake Koocanusa

Cold drinks and great plates at the Koocabana

Community nights, friendly waves, and unbeatable sunsets

Please share your memories with us below 📸

Now it's the time to get your unwanted but not unusable items out for our park swap and market event.

Put items on the table, learn a few bargaining skills and you may just walk away with an item that has been on your " to buy" list for a while.

This long weekend pack those Halloween costumes and enjoy Halloween in the Park, Sunday Sept 6th. Guests, don't be alarmed when you see all our Ghosts, ghouls and goblins waking around trick or treating!

It’s easy to forget how much things have changed out here until you look back at old photos and see just how far we’ve grown just in the last year.
Yet through every season, the heart of this place stays the same. The simplest moments always end up meaning the most. Sunny afternoons out on the water, unhurried chats with neighbours, and slow evenings under the stars.
It’s the people who bring this shoreside community to life. So pull up a chair, make yourself at home, and let's make this another season for the books.

One last round for the season!
We’re wrapping up the summer with our final Music Bingo of the year tonight at The Koocabana!
Come grab some dinner, order a cold drink, test your music knowledge, and compete for bragging rights.
Whether you’re playing to win or just coming for the laughs and good company, it’s bound to be a great night. We can't wait to see you!

Join us on Saturday August 28th at the Boat Launch for our End of Summer Party!

And then Sunday August 30th is last call at the Cafe before we close for the season!

Hard to believe summer is almost in the books, but we’re not letting it go without a proper party.

Our Hawaiian Luau is happening Saturday, August 29th at The Koocabana from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM!

The cafe will be serving up food, we’ll have plenty of activities going on, and it’s the perfect chance to catch up with everyone before the season closes out.
Feel free to dress up in your best beachy gear if you're feeling festive!

You know those cool lake evenings when the sun goes down, the wind picks up off the water, and everyone’s sitting around the fire wishing they brought one more layer?
That’s basically why we brought in these Surfer Boy hoodies. They’re super soft, built for those chilly nights, and honestly just feel like summer at the lake.
Next time you’re walking by, pop into the Linklater Store or the Shore Shack and check them out.

There are two kinds of lake days: the ones spent lounging on the lot, and the ones where you don't step foot on dry land until the sun goes down.
From morning wake sessions to late-afternoon anchor-outs, life on the boat is where the best summer stories get started.
Toss the cooler in the back, untie the lines, and head on out.
What’s your favourite spot on the water this week?

Every summer at the lake has its own little rhythm. Mornings start slow with coffee on the porch, afternoons are spent out on the water, and right around three o'clock, somebody usually asks the important question: "Is it time for ice cream yet?"
It’s never just about the scoop, though. It’s the sticky fingers, the kids racing the melting sun, and those spontaneous 20-minute chats with neighbours while you stand around cooling off.
