Welcome to the best kept secret in the Kootenays – Slocan<br />
– a picturesque lakeshore village that lies at the south end<br />
of pristine Slocan Lake. Guarded by the Valhallas in the<br />
Selkirk Mountain range, our friendly and safe community<br />
is a wonderful place to visit or live. We enjoy four distinct<br />
seasons with very different activities available during each<br />
one (see our list below.) We are a very diverse population,<br />
ranging from young families to retirees. Here there is<br />
something for everyone regardless of age, from sitting on<br />
the beach reading a book to rock climbing along the shores<br />
of the lake.<br />
No cell phone service in most of our valley,<br />
however free WIFI is available in Slocan.<br />
We have a pay phone on Harold Street!<br />
