With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Castlegar, 16 miles away, has to offer. Kootenay Gallery ought to be at the top of your to-do list here. Castlegar Golf Club and Castlegar Sports Centre & Fly Shop Flyfishing Tour are awesome attractions too. Located 30 miles away, Nelson is another popular choice. If you drop by, be sure to check out Baldface Lodge, Nelson Whitewater Rafting Co. And Granite Pointe Golf Club.
