Horse Lake
Lake life and rural living, east of 100 Mile House.
Horse Lake is a long, rural lake community east of 100 Mile House, with residential pockets, waterfront homes, acreages, farms and vacant land spread across a large area. The western end can feel close to town, while properties farther along the lake or surrounding roads can have substantially different drive times and access considerations.
A lake community with room to spread out
Horse Lake extends for approximately 18 kilometres. Its shoreline and surrounding roads offer a mix of waterfront settings, established neighbourhoods and larger rural properties.
The right fit depends on more than a community name. Consider how often you travel to town, the type of property you want and whether lake access is part of your plans.

Time on the water
Boating, paddling and fishing are part of the appeal of Horse Lake. Your experience of the lake will vary with the season, weather and the access available to you.
For stocking history, use the official fisheries records rather than a dated list of release numbers. Check current regulations before fishing.

Schools, services and everyday access
The wider Horse Lake area includes catchments for both Horse Lake Elementary and 100 Mile Elementary. Many properties described locally as Horse Lake, including Grey Crescent and the Ranchettes area, fall within the 100 Mile Elementary catchment. A Horse Lake community or mailing address does not determine school assignment.
Peter Skene Ogden Secondary (PSO) in 100 Mile House serves secondary students from the area. Confirm the school catchment and bus arrangements for the specific property with School District 27.
Community water in the Horse Lake area serves Anderson Subdivision. This is a domestic drinking-water service, not a community sewer service; properties still rely on individual septic systems. Elsewhere around Horse Lake, properties rely on private water supplies. Confirm each property's water source or service connection, septic system, relevant records and any current water advisories.

Before choosing a property

- Distinguish waterfront ownership from nearby or shared lake access.
- Confirm zoning and whether your intended use is permitted.
Questions about living at Horse Lake
How far is Horse Lake from 100 Mile House?
It depends on the property. The western end is closer to town, while addresses farther along the lake and connecting roads can involve a considerably longer drive. Check the route from the actual address.
Why might a Horse Lake property have a Lone Butte mailing address?
A mailing address can differ from the community name used locally. Use the specific road and property location to understand where a home sits; a postal community alone does not establish proximity to the lake.
Does every Horse Lake property have community water?
No. Community water serves Anderson Subdivision; properties elsewhere rely on private supplies. Community water does not include sewer service: properties still use individual septic systems. Confirm the arrangements for the specific property.
Does a Horse Lake address mean waterfront?
No. The wider community includes waterfront homes, inland neighbourhoods, acreages, farms and vacant land. Confirm the property boundaries and any legal lake-access rights.
