Monte Lake is an unincorporated, seasonally inhabited community located at the north end of the lake of the same name. [1] It lies in a valley connecting the Thompson Country to the Okanagan region in the south-central Interior of British Columbia, Canada. The area has a negligible permanent population, and is not considered a designated place by Statistics Canada, but seasonal residents can number nearly 3,000. On 5th and 6th August 2021, the community was destroyed by the White Rock Lake fire. [2]
