Chute Lake is a small lake on the east side of Okanagan Mountain, in the Okanagan Valley in the southern interior of British Columbia. The only access roads are the Chute Lake Forestry Road, leading to Naramata in the south, and the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, leading to Kelowna in the north. The Chute Lake Resort is located on the lake's southwest shore.

History of Chute Lake

Chute Lake was originally called Lequime Lake, named so in 1930. It was renamed Chute Lake in 1955 to conform with established local usage. Chute Lake was nearly hit with the disastrous Okanagan Mountain Park Fire in 2003, with flames coming within metres of the Chute Lake Resort. Fires are common in the region due to the dry climate of the Okanagan.
