Area A (Wynndel/Crawford Bay/Riondel)

Area A runs along Kootenay Lake in southeastern British Columbia, where the lake’s long, narrow basin has concentrated settlement in small communities connected by shoreline roads. The lake is part of the Kootenay River system and lies between the Selkirk Mountains to the west and the Purcell Mountains to the east. Kootenay Bay, on the eastern shore, is the eastern terminal of the free Kootenay Lake Ferry to Balfour, an important link in the regional road network. Rather than a single urban centre, the district is defined by forested slopes, water access and a dispersed lakeside rhythm.
