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.
