The Seton Portage Motel is at the center of it all - whether you're interested in fishing, hiking, watersports, or simply relaxing. Escape to the tranquility and slowed pace of our remote wilderness setting - you'll leave feeling refreshed.

Watersports
Get out on Seton Lake in the morning and you will experience 18 kilometers of glassy lake surface virtually all to yourself. Then watch the wind come up in the afternoon, creating perfect conditions for windsurfing and kiteboarding.

Abundant hiking opportunities offer incredible views of dramatic mountain peaks, crystalline waterfalls and pristine forest. Discover remnants of abandoned homesteads which provide a glimpse into the area's mining history.

Hiking trails in the area
Easy – Whitecap falls. A 15 minute walk from the west car bridge, the trail follows the creek up past recently built (Kekuli) pit houses first nations pit houses, a campground (look for signs of an old homestead) and where the road suddenly turns uphill, the trail drops down to the creek. The cool blast of moist air will signify the falls nearby.

Moderate – Old Train Tunnel – Follow the road along the train tracks east of town until the tracks enter the active tunnel. Cross the tracks and look for the old track bed along the water. Follow this along and you will see the tunnel. It reaches complete darkness in the middle before light from the other end can be seen. (bring a light).

Strenuous – Goat Mountain – 8 hrs plus and more than 6000’ vertical climb, this old hunting trail offers some spectacular views. It starts above Whitecap lodge on the alluvial fan then follows the ridge above the south-west corner of the isthmus. Be ready to camp for the night.
