The Kootenay Lake Valley is a little-known treasure. Off the beaten tourist routes and relatively unscarred by clear-cut logging, its thickly forested mountains and pristine waters provide solace to the souls of residents and visitors alike. There's plenty to do here including hiking, golfing, kayaking, etc--or just relax on a beach. You'll find yourself surrounded by inspiring natural beauty. Nobody's in a hurry, so the natives always have time to point you to the best places. Visitors CenterTelephone (Summers Only): (250) 227-9267
