Nature in Boundary

Take a Walk On the Wild Side

Nature in Boundary Country isn’t just scenery, it’s an invitation. Paddle quiet lakes, hike golden larch forests, snowshoe through peaceful glades or cast a line in crisp mountain streams. With four distinct seasons, abundant wildlife and endless trails, nature is always in season and beckoning for an adventure.

Activities

Step into the wild, any time of year. Hike or cycle scenic rail trails, snowshoe alpine paths, watch birds at sunrise or paddle across calm waters. Fish for rainbow trout in spring, photograph fall larches or track wildlife in winter snow. From riverside meadows to mountain viewpoints, Boundary Country is built for nature lovers.

The choices are practically endless

Savour the wide-open spaces as you hike and bike where Bighorn sheep, elk and deer still roam. Bask in the quiet of the wilderness while you fish tranquil lakes and slow-running rivers. Ride or hike the Kettle Valley Rail Trail (KVR) from campsite to campsite and park to park.
