White Lake RV & Fishing Resort: The Complete Guide (Sorrento, BC)
White Lake RV & Fishing Resort: The Fish Are Stocked. The Excuses Are Not.
Some resorts are "fishing resorts" in name. White Lake is a fishing resort in practice.
25,000 to 40,000 rainbow trout stocked annually. A private lake with marl shoals that make it one of BC's best fly fishing and ice fishing destinations. Boat rentals, a floating swim platform, marine gas on-site, and lakeside cabins where you wake up ten steps from the water.
White Lake RV & Fishing Resort in Sorrento, BC does one thing better than almost anywhere else in the province — and that thing is catching fish.
Here's the full story.
Where Is White Lake RV & Fishing Resort?
2866 White Lake Road, Sorrento, BC
Between Blind Bay and Salmon Arm in BC's Shuswap region. Sorrento is on the Trans-Canada, making the resort accessible from both directions. About 1 hour from Kamloops, 45 minutes from Salmon Arm.
White Lake is a private, spring-fed lake renowned in BC fishing circles for its marl shoal bottom — the limestone-rich geology that produces exceptional trout habitat and crystal-clear, turquoise-tinted water.
What Is White Lake RV & Fishing Resort?
A private fishing resort on one of BC's premier rainbow trout lakes, with cabins, RV sites, boat rentals, and all the infrastructure to make a serious fishing trip as comfortable as possible.
This is the destination for anglers who want a legitimate lake — not a pond, not a "stocked pond with a dock." A real lake with real fish, seriously stocked and seriously fishable. White Lake RV & Fishing Resort
The Lake & The Fish
Rainbow Trout — Stocked Annually
25,000 to 40,000 rainbow trout. Every year. That's the stocking number at White Lake.
This isn't incidental fishing as a side activity. This is the whole point. The resort stocks the lake annually to maintain a serious, productive fishery — so when you're out there at sunrise with a line in the water, you're not just hoping.
Marl Shoals
White Lake's marl shoal bottom is the technical reason it's exceptional. Marl is a calcium carbonate-rich sediment that creates ideal habitat for insects — which means better food sources for trout, which means bigger, healthier, more active fish.
It also gives the water its distinctive clear, slightly turquoise colour. Looks good. Fishes better.

Boat Rentals
You don't need to bring a boat. The resort has you covered.
Available rentals:
Motorboats
Pontoon boats
Canoes
Kayaks
Paddleboards
Rowboats
Whether you're running the motorboat to your favourite spot on the marl shoals or paddling a canoe around the shoreline, the rental fleet handles it.
Boat Launch & Marine Gas
Bring your own boat? The resort has a boat launch and marine gas on-site — so you fuel up on the lake without leaving.
Floating Swim Platform
Because fishing isn't all you'll do.
The floating swim platform gives swimmers a destination, paddle out, sun yourself, watch the fishing boats work the far shore. Great for kids and adults who want a swim break between outings.
Accommodations
Lakeside Cabins — 10 Units
Ten cabins, right on the lake. Wake up. Make coffee. Look out at the water. Walk ten steps to the dock. That's the geometry of a cabin stay at White Lake.
Cabins are set up for self-sufficient resort stays — cooking facilities, everything you need to run a fishing trip properly.
The Fishing Lodge — Sleeps 10
White Lake's standout accommodation. The Fishing Lodge sleeps up to 10 people — built for group fishing trips, family reunions, or any occasion where you want a whole building to yourselves.
Ten people. One lodge. A stocked lake outside the door. Do the math.
RV Sites — 38 Serviced Sites
38 fully serviced RV sites on the property. Full hookups. A short walk from the lake and boat launch.
Hiking & Trails
When you need a break from the water:
White Lake Lookout Trail
The White Lake Lookout Trail starts at or near the resort and gives you elevated views of the lake and the surrounding Shuswap landscape. A good morning leg-stretcher before the afternoon fishing session.
Grasslands Trails
The broader Sorrento/Blind Bay area has grasslands trail systems — different terrain from the typical BC forested hiking. Open, scenic, and a good contrast to the lake.

What's Around White Lake Resort
Salmon Arm
About 45 minutes east. The Salmon Arm Wharf (one of the longest freshwater wharves in North America) is worth a stop, the town has good restaurants, and Shuswap Lake access is right there.
Sorrento & Blind Bay
The immediate area offers a quiet BC lakeside community vibe — small restaurants, local shops, and access to Shuswap Lake from Sorrento.
Nearby Wineries
The South Shuswap has a small but growing wine scene. A half-day trip through some local wineries is a good break from the lake (though we understand if you don't want a break from the lake).
Kamloops
About an hour west. BC's Tournament Capital is good for a supply run or a day trip with more urban amenities.
Is White Lake Good for Non-Anglers?
More than you'd expect.
The swimming platform, paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, pontoon boats, and hiking trails give non-fishers plenty to do. And the lake is genuinely beautifu, even if catching a fish isn't on your agenda, being on a pristine marl-bottomed lake in BC's Shuswap is a good day.
But make no mistake: this is a fishing resort first. If you've got one angler in the group, White Lake is the trip.
