Winding gently through one of the most beautiful river valleys in British Columbia, the Slocan Valley Rail Trail offers easy access to 50 km of breath-taking scenery. Following the contours of the Slocan River, the trail makes its way from Slocan Lake to the Kootenay River. For those who like road biking, the roads to the west of the trail make for an easy add-on loop. There’s swimming and rafting in the river, watch for ospreys fishing and enjoy the quiet Slocan Valley.

“We stayed at the Paradise Valley Lodge – a relaxing retreat nestled in the woods. It’s open all year round…enjoy brilliant fall colours in the valley and crisp sunny days. In winter you can snowshoe or cross-country ski and the trail is great for cycling from spring to fall.”
