Life On Kootenay Lake BC Canada

By Merv Carlson


There are few things as breathtaking as Canadian scenery and Kootenay Lake, easily one of the prettiest lakes in Canada, is nothing short of breathtaking; from the splendour of its deep blue waters to its rich and dynamic shoreline, life on the lake is a vital and stunning experience for those who are lucky enough to find themselves in residence there.

Residents here totally connect with the nature with many relaxing activities including fishing, bird watching, boating and hiking. Life here is so comfortable with the fresh blue water, green trees and diverse wild animals. Kootenay Lake BC is the right destination for people wishing to stay away from the noisy city life

The waters of Kootenay Lake are so amazingly pure that one can drink straight from the lake, a rare quality these days; filled with Kokanee salmon, Dolly Varden, and Sturgeon, it is also home to the world's largest breed of Trout, the Gerrard Rainbow, which makes it an idyllic setting for fishing enthusiasts.

Unlike other lakes, the Kootenay does not freeze over in winters. The lake shoreline is the home to over two hundreds and fifty species of migrating birds. Pelicans and wild swans are the two popular species here.

The shores of Kootenay Lake are vital and green; as part of a stretch that is categorized as an Interior Rain Belt, the area sees relatively substantial precipitation on an annual basis and as a result has a lushly populated shoreline with a large number of trees as well as significant other flora and fauna.

Cougars can also be found here. Kootenay Lake is surrounded by an enormous number of small bays and beautiful sandy beaches perfect for lazing on while watching the deep blue water; kayaking is enormously popular on the lake, as is canoeing and a number of other water sports.

The beautiful mountain ranges nearby, together with the breathtaking scenery and the diverse wildlife, make Kootenay Lake region the right destination for hikers and campers who wish to see the nature's perfection here.

Lodges and resorts providing golf, biking as well as other activities are located on the shores of the lake. The Kootenay Lake Ferry, the longest free ferry ride offered in the world, provides a breathtaking view of the mountains on either side of the lake.

So if you're looking for a relaxed, idyllic lifestyle on the shores of one of Canada's most stunningly beautiful lakes, look no further than Kootenay Lake, where the laid back, relaxed atmosphere and the sublime connection with nature will captivate you.
