Kaslo

The landscape around Kaslo is defined by steep, forested mountains meeting Kootenay Lake, which has shaped both the town’s compact waterfront form and the transport routes that supported its mining economy. In British Columbia’s West Kootenay region, Kaslo developed during the silver-mining era as a lake-port community, with streets rising quickly from the shore. The SS Moyie, an 1898 sternwheel steamer preserved at the waterfront, recalls the time when vessels connected settlements around the lake before road travel became dominant. Kaslo also lies between the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges, placing lake life and mountain country in close proximity.
