Property types in Salmon Arm

Salmon Arm is a city in the Canadian province of British Columbia where the Salmon River empties into the Shuswap Lake. It became a city on May 15, 1905; and to celebrate its 100th birthday in 2005, the event was commemorated with the minting of a special coin.

Its many public beaches, Shuswap Lake, hotels, camping facilities, house boat rentals, restaurants and other businesses make Salmon Arm a popular tourist town in the summer. The longest wooden wharf in North America is here.

For those who live here or want to consider the city as a new home, recreation residential communities and cultural attractions add to the city's appeal.
