Wildfire context for Lake Windermere

Lake Windermere is surrounded by Invermere, resort and recreation communities, rural properties, dry forested slopes, wetlands, golf courses, beaches, and Highway 93/95. Regional mountain fires can affect smoke, visibility, tourism, outdoor activity, and travel around the lake without being close to the shoreline itself.

Smoke forecast, air quality and fire weather

Smoke forecasts, measured AQHI and Fire Danger ratings describe different conditions. FireRadar shows each separately so one is not mistaken for another.
