Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park, established in 1922, is one of British Columbia’s oldest provincial parks, spanning 32,035 hectares in the Selkirk Mountains of the West Kootenays, just east of the Okanagan on Highway 3 and 6.
Between Kootenay and Slocan Lakes, located north of Nelson, is this rugged wilderness area known for its stunning alpine and lake valley scenery, including three glaciers—Kokanee, Caribou, and Woodbury—feeding over 30 vibrant, fish filled lakes, requiring a valid BC fishing license to catch, and providing spring fresh water for the Columbia Brewery on the south end of Kootenay Lake in Creston BC, and its famous “Glacier Fresh” Kokanee Beer.
In the Syilx region of British Columbia, home to the the Arrow Lakes people, Ktunaxa and Sinixt First Nations, Nelson, the little mountain city founded during the mid-1800s Silver Rush, being a gateway to the great outdoors and now famed “The Queen City” for its restored heritage buildings.
Like a frothy Pilsner from the Bohemian city of Plzeň, Baldface Lodge is a frothy winter powder keg within British Columbia.
