Slocan

Slocan Lake defines the setting of Slocan — its long, narrow waters and the surrounding Selkirk Mountains shape life in this settlement at the lake’s southern end. Here, the Slocan River flows out of the lake and continues south through the Slocan Valley toward the Kootenay River. Silver discoveries turned the wider Slocan district into an important mining frontier in the 1890s; during that period, sternwheelers on the lake linked communities and mining camps. Valhalla Provincial Park lies along the lake’s western side, protecting a vast area of forest, alpine country and backcountry trails.
