Nelson Paddling Club head coach, Andrea Howland, takes us through the abundance of paddling opportunities around the region. Kootenay Lake is a paddler’s dream, it’s pristine and inviting. The lake is over 100 kilometres long with 3 distinct arms, making it one of the largest lakes in British Columbia, and one of the most spectacular. The water is glacier fed and crystal clear with towering mountains and old growth forests along the shoreline, along with dozens of white sand beaches. Nineteen-year-old sprint paddler, Zoey Taylor fills us in on even more lake activities outside of the realm of paddling. Come on out and explore Kootenay Lake, where finding adventure is a breeze.
