From Calgary
Follow Trans-Canada Hwy #1 west through Banff toward Revelstoke and Sicamous. At Sicamous turn south on Hwy 97A and follow directions from Sicamous.

From Kelowna International Airport
Follow Hwy 97 north through Vernon, past Armstrong and through Enderby. Five minutes past Enderby, take Hwy 97A northeast toward Grindrod and Sicamous. Once you have passed through Grindrod you will start to see the Shuswap River on your left. Drive until you pass the DeMille’s Mara Market and Gas Station. Turn left (west) onto Riverside Road just past the gas station. Follow Riverside Road past the first bend in the road and turn right onto the Mara Bridge. On the other side of the bridge turn right. We are the second house on the right. Look for the sign. Note: If you turn onto Riverside Road before seeing DeMille’s you have taken the alternative route. Simply keep driving along the riverbank until you see the bridge and turn left onto the Mara Bridge.

From Kamloops
Drive on Trans-Canada Hwy #1 from Kamloops east to Salmon Arm. Once you have passed through Salmon Arm and gone up the hill, look for the second set of traffic lights. At these lights, turn right (south) onto Highway 97B for about 15 km. Then at the bottom of the hill, turn left onto Highway 97A going north (the sign should show Grindrod/Sicamous). (If you end up going into Enderby, you’ve missed the turning and will have to go back). The next small village on your way north is Grindrod where the highway passes over a bridge across the Shuswap River. Once you have passed through Grindrod you will start to see the Shuswap River on your left. Drive until you pass the DeMille’s Mara Market and Gas Station. Turn left (west) onto Riverside Road just past the gas station. Follow Riverside Road past the first bend in the road and turn right onto the Mara Bridge. On the other side of the bridge turn right. We are the second house on the right. Look for the sign. Note: If you turn onto Riverside Road before seeing DeMilles you have taken the alternative route.

From Sicamous
From the Trans-Canada HWY turnoff, drive south on Hwy 97A toward Enderby and Vernon. At the 20 or 21 km mark (having passed the end of Mara Lake), look for Riverside Road where you will turn right (west). (If you pass the DeMille’s Mara Market and Gas Station you have gone too far.) Follow Riverside Road past the first bend and turn onto the Mara Bridge just after the Mara Church. On the other side of the bridge turn right. We are the second house on the right.
