When you feel like you need to take a breather from all that exhausting sightseeing, stretch out in the sun at Kootenay Lake. Pack a picnic or your favorite book ... This is your time to chill!

This body of water doesn't cost a thing to visit, which is wonderful news if you're watching your money. Kootenay Lake is located in Central Kootenay. When you've finished here, Kootenay Lake Ferry Terminal and Balfour Golf Course are in the area and also worth checking out.
