This unique Park & Campground is right on the shore of Kootenay Lake, between the scenic Purcell and Selkirk mountain ranges. The surrounding mountain areas are frequented by wildlife large and small – from chipmunks, squirrels and otters to deer, elk, cougars and bears. Many bird species can be seen – songbirds and waterfowl of all types, ospreys and eagles. The plant life here is abundant, and home to many fascinating insects. Kootenay Lake is a renowned fishing destination – with Gerrard Trout, Kokanee salmon and Dolly Varden (bull trout).
