Procter sits on the West Arm of Kootenay Lake in British Columbia, where forested slopes meet a long freshwater reach of the Kootenay River system. This small lakeside community lies in the West Kootenay region, east of Nelson, amid a landscape shaped by water travel, logging and mining-era settlement. Kootenay Lake was once an important transport route for sternwheelers serving communities along its shores; the restored 1898 sternwheeler SS Moyie at Kaslo preserves part of that history. Today, Procter provides a quiet base for exploring the lake and surrounding interior mountains. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the West Kootenays.
