This small lakeside village on the shores of Arrow Lakes punches above its weight in culture, heritage, arts and outdoor adventure. Get inspired at this gem of a spot.
The paired villages of New Denver and Silverton are nestled on the east shore of Slocan Lake, framed by the Selkirk Mountain Range. Sandon offers a window to the past.
Between the Monashee and Selkirk mountain ranges are the Arrow Lakes. Known as one of the top boating lakes in BC, it's perfect for lake explorations, swimming and camping.
The river-connected communities of Crescent Valley, Slocan Park and Passmore offer the ease of valley life between mountain ranges that rise on either valley edge.
The once boisterous boomtown packed with hotels, saloons and miners is now peaceful, filled with gold-rush era architecture, fantastic recreation and breathtaking views.
