We are located near the confluence of the Slocan and the Little Slocan Rivers where there are plenty of beaches.
Rock climbing? Check out Summit Mountain Guides
We are so lucky to have these rivers which are clean enough to drink.
Recommended Experiences
1. Float or whitewater on one of the rivers in either a canoe, kayak or inflatable
2. Canoe for 1, 2 or 3 days down the west side of Slocan Lake. Camp and hike the trails for free at the boat access only, provincial campsites along the way.
3. Go hiking, climbing or bouldering. Gimli Peak and the Drinnon Pass in Valhalla Park are a 1.5 hour drive from the campground on logging roads. Its best to have a four wheel drive vehicle
