Blind Bay, BC, Canada

Blind Bay on Shuswap Lake is a hidden cove with a tricky entrance located on the southern shore of the lake. Because the lake arm is so large the entrance to Blind Bay is sometimes missed due to the angle of the bay in relation to the larger Shuswap Lake. A landmark to keep an eye out for, marking the entrance to Blind Bay, is Reedman Point.
