Take in unbeatable views of both the Purcell and Rocky Mountains spanning the shores of the lake while skating as far as you'd like! When conditions allow, winter outdoor adventurers can enjoy a groomed Nordic ski track and skate ski path alongside the cleared skating path.

The community of Edgewater, less than 10 minutes north of Radium, maintains a skating rink in the centre of town. 

Frank’s Rink, found at the corner of Purcell Avenue and Vermillion Street in Edgewater, BC, is known not only as a hub for hockey, shinny, skating and more, but also as a lasting reminder of one man’s love for his community. The rink is a monument to Frank Schnider, who made maintaining the rink his passion for five years, from the time he retired at age 65 until he passed away at age 70 in 2005.

Franks Rink has maintained a dedicated group of volunteers within the Edgewater Rec Society.

Directions: Travel North on Highway 95 from Radium Hot Springs to the small town of Edgewater, approximately 11km. Turn left on Columbia Road leading to Edgewater, continuing on Cordillera Ave for approximately 300m before turning right onto Vermillion St.
