There under skies italianate blue, among haphazardly sprawled hills and snow capped peaks are lakes, lovely as giant aquamarines. Shuswap and Okanagan, Slocan, Kootenay and Lake Windermere— a dozen lesser but still lovely ones—they vie for favor in the hearts of visitors. And by steamer, rail and motor road they are so conveniently linked and interlinked that they become veritably a land of glorious pilgrimage. It is an enchanted country — this Lake District of British Columbia. A land of splendidcolor. Valleys brimmed with sunshine. Mountains sharply etched against blue skies. Shadows purple black in ravine and draw. The air so crisply exhilarating that the tiredest pilgrim finds vitality in every breath. From the time snow clears until fall frosts turn the sumacs crimson, are its pleasant valleys odorous. Syringas fringe its lakes and perfume moonlight nights. Wild roses and apple blossoms scent sunlit days. From rolling hill and mountain floats the pungent tang of sage brush and pine needles hot in the sun. ,re«i There is all outdoors to revel in— a hundred and one exciting, intriguing things to do. Saddle ponies for galloping over the short parklike grass of the lower hills. Swimming in lakes so luxuriantly warm that many a midnight corn-roast is preceded by a bathing party. Motor boating, dancing, fishing, hunting. Golf, of course. And nearly every place has tennis courts. Badminton too. For the people of the Lake District are eager participants in sports. Since the Great War the earlier pioneers and settlers have been augmented by numbers of retired officers, who find in the fertile country about the Lakes, pleasant spots to live. Printed in Canada—1930 Page One 6* ^>t^Cs re v-?, -'rfr THE LAKE DISTRICT OKANAGAN VALLEY The Okanagan Valley is the farthest west of this region called the Lake District of British Columbia. It lies between the mountains of the Gold Coast and the Cascades. The lake itself is seventy miles long. Tradition has it that Spaniards from California visited the Valley long before 1812. Certain it is, after that date fur-traders from Astoria and Fort Vancouver, via the Columbia River, blamed a trail up "Oukinnakin" Valley into the land of the Shuswap Indians. And priests established missions on its shores. Fur traders gave place to cattle ranchers. Cattle men to fruit growers. Now there is little but picture writings on certain cliffs and boulders to remind us of Indian life and warfare. And visitors spend interesting, lazy hours traversing the blue waters of its lake on a comfortable Canadian Pacific steamer. Okanagan Valley may be reached either via Sicamous Junction on the Canadian Pacific main line, or by Kettle Valley Railway from Nelson to Penticton at the southern end of the lake. But from whichever direction it is approached its beauty is equally and serenely appealing. There is no grimness about the almost rolling hills each side Okanagan's blue waters. In spring and early summer the unwooded lower slopes are seas of lupin, gold-crested with sun' flowers. The sharp contours of upper pine* covered reaches melt becomingly into far distances. Orchards, like squares of dark emerald embroidery, crowd the "bench lands.1' Small towns cluster in friendly fashion at strategic points along its margin. And the heart of man is gladdened with almost daily sunshine. Comfortable hostelries beguile travellers into lingering through spring and apple blossom time, through summer when swimming is rapture, till autumn crisps the nights and paints a country vivid with color. And in their due seasons bloom and ripen to perfection, cherries, peaches and apricots, grapes, pears and apples. For the land is under intensive irrigation and is extremely fertile. FISH AND GAME Pheasants are especially numerous in the Valley where they seem to thrive better than in any other part of British Columbia. Grouse and quail also provide good shooting. Deer invite the hunter. Back in the hills are bear. In the Fall, landlocked salmon, locally called "Kicaninnies," crowd the streams. Steelhead and rainbow are caught in the Lake. PENTICTON Penticton at the Southern end of the Okana' gan is an inland resort of no mean repute. A long sandy spit stretching beneath the waters makes the Lake here very safe for children. There is excellent hotel accommodation and cuisine at the Incola fronting the Lake. Family parties may also rent cottages in the neighbourhood. The town, situated between two bodies of water, Okanagan and Skaha Lakes, has an elevation of 1,132 feet, and is cooled by a prevailing wind from the Okanagan. A pictures- que nine hole golf course, sports and dances at the Aquatic Club and interesting motor drives provide amusements. MOTOR DRIVES At Summerland, half an hour's run north and west by car, local artists design and make very attractive pottery from Okanagan clay leavened with ten per cent, of clay from Saskat- chewan. These potteries and other handicraft products are sold in a little log cabin on the lake shore. Another charming drive skirting the eastern shore of the lake is to Naramata, twelve miles north from Penticton. South of Penticton beyond Skaha and Vas- seaux Lakes lies the fruit growing country round Oliver. A huge government irrigation scheme has made of that once dusty valley a region of amazing fertility. The choicest varieties of canteloupes and melons besides all kinds of orchard fruits are grown there. "GRIZZLY BEAR" Kelowna, half way up the east shore of the lake, was once called Anse au Sable. Its Indian name, Kelowna, means "Grimly Bear," but it is usually thought of as the "Orchard City." It has a splendid site on a fertile flat stretching by gradations towards the hills, and many ways of providing visitors with sport and pleasure. There is an aquatic club with an attractive club house in the City Park where dances are held twice a week during th£ season. Kelowna Regatta is the biggest of its kind in Canada, with entries from far afield. Tennis, badminton, swimming, fishing and shooting all find their place on Kelowna's sports programme. The links has eighteen holes— one of which is built sportily into a small lake. And Kelowna Golf Club boasts an enthusiastic welcome to visitors. "THE ROYAL ANNE" Hotel accommodation here is excellent. Most social activities of the town centre around "the Royal Anne" on the main street. It has a charming lounge of which Kelownaites are justly proud, and which opens on to a tiny but exquisite formal garden, bright with roses and redolent with perfume. Page Two OF BRITISH COLUM B IA W I M OKANAGAN LAKE I I -=•?•■> ,„ M'lm yyMMiMA -" M~°^ - A STERN-WHEELER KELOWNA GOLF COURSE Pdge Three THE LAKE DISTRICT "ELDORADO ARMS" Five miles from south of Kelowna on the lake shore stands the "Eldorado Arms." This picturesque half timbered hostelry, owned by Countess Bubna, is reminiscent of an old world country house. A jolly many sided little place is the "Orchard City," where equally successful efforts are made to grow fields of onions, commercially valuable tobacco and conduct the Okanagan Musical Festival; to fruit and dairy farm and to hold there in perpetuity the Annual Tennis Tournament for the championships of the Interior of British Columbia. VERNON Vernon, four miles from the head of Okanagan Lake, and connected with the Canadian Pacific steamer port of call at Okanagan Landing was once called Priests1 Valley, after the missionaries who came over the Lewis and Clarke trail from the Mississippi in the second quarter of the last century. Indeed Priests' Valley was the name given the Post Office when it was opened on September 1, 1884. It was changed to Vernon in honour of Forbes George Vernon, owner of the famous Coldstream Ranch and at the time Chief Commissioner of Lands and Work for the Province. The town is the centre of an extensive orchard district and looks its best when the trees are in blossom. It is the judicial capital for the Valley and possesses good hotel accommodation and a nine hole golf course. KALAMALKA LAKE Two miles from Town lies Kalamalka Lake, an exquisite small sheet of water, surrounded by orchard lands, where the residents of Vernon have summer homes and visitors can rent cabins. A sunset at Kalamalka is worth going miles to see. There seems some peculiar iridescence from the hills and surrounding atmosphere that makes of its beauty an almost luminous glory. Every town on the lake has a packing house for fresh fruits, and a glimpse into one cannot fail to prove interesting. Through the opened door and windows blue lake and sunbrowned hills. In the plant, mellow sunshine and deep shadow. Workers moving expertly about their appointed tasks: graders singing rhythmic songs of modernity, over all the sweet perfume of ripened fruit and an ageless sense of harvest and fulfilment. SICAMOUS Sicamous, where the branch line from Okanagan Landing makes connection with the main line is situated on Shuswap Lake with Mara Lake in the immediate vicinity. Through centuries one of the favourite fishing grounds of the Indians, Shuswap continues as a Mecca for white sportsmen. Just as soon as the ice clears, along the first of April, they begin to arrive from even the far places of the earth. Most of the fishing is for Dolly Varden, Greys, Kamloops and Steelhead trout. The Canadian Pacific has a comfortable hotel here as a base for operations and boats and tackle can be hired nearby. SHUSWAP LAKE Shuswap Lake is an amazingly beautiful body of water. It is shaped something like a gigantic horseshoe and has an extensive shore line of five hundred miles. Its Indian name signifies "Sunset," and while at all times the play of light and shadow on its surface reveals an almost poignant beauty, at sunset it is particularly lovely. THE KETTLE VALLEY The Kettle Valley Railway, which links the Okanagan Valley with the Kootenay district in the South, runs through a country marvellously varied and interesting. By snaky curves, trestle bridges and hairpin bends: across deep ravines and tumbling turbulent mountain streams the grade rises high above the Okanagan Valley. Far below lies the lake, blue and fairy-like. Naramata nestles at the base of orchards rising bench on bench towards the hills. There are brief pauses at little stations, deep in the heart of the pines. An Olympian view of Kelowna. Then through a country of tender shadows and aromatic pungency into grassy plateaux fringed with cotton woods and trembling aspens, where wander herds of fat beef cattle. At midway the Kettle Valley Railway joins the Canadian Pacific. Rugged country again, and ghosts of old mining towns like Greenwood, to Grandforks, where mining has given place to orchards. There is a prosperous settlement of Doukhobors near Grandforks, though the largest Doukhobor settlement is at Brilliant near Nelson, where they also have a jam factory, and make excellent strawberry jam. The farms of the Doukhobor communities look in wonderful condition and are models of frugality and hard work. Men and women work side by side in fields and orchards. Cumbered with much clothing, women with heads shawl-covered, men in slouch hats— they bend their heavy peasant frames intently on the work in hand and towards the furtherance of community good. Little patches of Europe transplanted to the New World and happier conditions. Page Four OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Left—IN THE KOOTENAYS Left—NEAR VERNON Page Five THE KOOTENAYS From the Rockies to the Gold Coast Range lies this district called "the Kootenays." The Arrow Lakes, the Slocan, Kootenay Lake and Lake Windermere are the largest and best known of the lakes, but innumerable smaller ones lie like jewels among its mountain ranges. WILD FLOWERS Flowers of a thousand hues star the slopes, and shyly hide in shadow-filled ravines. Scarlet pentstemons, larkspurs, blue as summer skies, cama and mariposa lilies, harebells, columbines, orchids of many kinds and gaillardias bloom in their seasons. There is clarkia as pretty as the cultivated variety; dodoctheon like a small pink cyclamen; trillium and dog toothed violet; fire weed making glowing purple pools on cleared land, and asters smoky blue when Fall draws near. And these are but some of the entire list. In June syringa and roses perfume the air and spirea and honeysuckle vines are everywhere. The Kootenays is a paradise for botanists as for beauty lovers and sportsmen. SPORTSMAN'S PARADISE All the large lakes of the Kootenays with the exception of Windermere, which being fed by hot springs is too warm for fish, boast the Kamloops trout. It is frequently caught up to twenty-five pounds in weight. Lakes and rivers swarm with the rainbow and cut-throat and the creeks with mountain trout. In addition eastern brook trout are being widely distributed. The federal hatcheries at Nelson and the Rod and Gun Club at Cranbrook maintain the supply. Deer are everywhere among the hills. One cf the prettiest and by no means infrequent sights in a long day's journey is to see them feeding on the banks of the Arrow Lakes. Elk are found in the Windermere Valley. Many localities, noticeably Lardeau, Kettle Valley and Windermere have goat. Black bear is universal and above the timber line, in the Lardeau and Windermere, grizzlies. The Lake system is a popular resort of waterfowl. They are especially plentiful around Creston and in the Windermere Valley. The eighty miles of slough fringing the Columbia River in the Windermere provide an unparalleled landing water for every known species of duck crossing this continent. The morning and evening flights of the birds give sportsmen marvellous bags, and artists subjects for photography and paint. Wild geese, ducks of all kinds—gold eye, teal, green and blue, mallards and canvas backs—are there in superabundance. Besides there are all the grouse—blue, willow, foolhen, and prairie chicken. Ready access may be had to the lower slopes of the mountain by automobile. And there are trails for pack and saddle horses so that the hunter may reach the higher regions. Kaslo, Nelson, Revelstoke, Fort Steele or Windermere are equally convenient for outfitting. BOATING AND SWIMMING There are beautiful beaches round all the lakes in the Kootenays and ideal conditions for motor boating and canoeing. Nelson and Kaslo both stage regattas. In addition to Nelson and Kaslo, which are situated on Kootenay Lake, there are summer resorts at Proctor and Balfour and indeed all along the West Arm of the Kootenay. At Dean's Haven, Coffee Creek, Ainsworth and Mirror Lake. At Christina near Grand Forks. At Nakusp, Edgewood and Robson on the Arrows. On Slocan Lake, at New Denver. On Trout Lake at Trout Lake City. On Howser Lake at Howser and on Moyie Lake at Moyie. In the Windermere Valley there are resorts on Windermere Lake, at Windermere, Athalmer, Invermere and Wilner. MOUNTAINEERING For Alpine enthusiasts, Kokanee Glacier Park, fourteen miles from Ainsworth, easily accessible from Nelson and so close to Kaslo that it is but a day's trip, provides all the thrills and beauties the heart desires. There, in a comparatively small area, are seven separate glaciers with innumerable lakes, waterfalls, crevasses, ravines and crags. The Park is in fact a miniature Switzerland and provides most stirring mountaineering adventure. STEAMER TRIPS Nelson, on the West Arm of the Kootenay Lake is a convenient base for exploring the wonderful holiday resources of the Arrows, the Slocan and the Kootenay Lakes, by steamer and train or by automobile. The steamer trips are without doubt some of the most marvellous in the world. Kootenay and Slocan Lakes are deep with heavily wooded shores sloping steeply to emerald waters. At points, nature has been superseded by man, and orchards, pleasure resorts, lumber mills and mining towns dot their margins. An occasional "ghost city," relict of some rich mineral strike, stirs the imagination and adds a spice of romance for the initiate. The Arrow Lakes are not lakes in the ordinary sense of the word, but are broadenings of the mighty and lovely Columbia River. Down their winding distances are glimpsed vistas of dissolving loveliness melting by panoramic thrills into mysterious and craggy hinterlands. Page Six Page Seven THE LAKE DISTRICT KASLO LAKES Left—NELSON Page Eight OF BRITISH COLUMBIA NELSON Nelson is the most friendly and hospitable of towns. Approached from the West Arm by steamer at sunset it presents itself with almost fairy-tale beauty. Homes touched to gold by the last rays rise one above the other along its terraced streets. Around them fertile gardens spill a gorgeous profusion of bloom and color. In nearly every garden there is a cherry tree or two. Kootenay cherries are deservedly famous. Large and blackly red, they are said to benefit from the highly mineralised soil of the district. Nelson has a nine hole all-grass golf course, jam factory, match block factory, the usual picture theatres and good hotel accommodation. The links, besides boasting unexcelled condition, have an unsurpassed situation. From the club house one can view the Kootenay River for miles, winding between verdant hills, and the Canadian Pacific Steamers and tugs plying up and down its waters. There is an even chance, too, that a golfer may see a black bear with her cubs cross the fairways, and often a covey of grouse rises from almost underfoot. TRAIL Trail, fifty miles from Nelson and reached by train or stage, is the site of the great reduction plant of The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada. It consists of smelters and refineries for lead, zinc, copper, silver and gold and all the extraneous workshops appertaining to such operations. These works constitute the largest non-ferrous metallurgical plant of the British Empire. Guides are placed at the disposal of visitors, who cannot fail to be both interested and stimulated. A laboratory for the investigation of the commercial value of by-products is among the equipment and at the present moment an eight million dollar fertiliser plant is being added. Seven miles from Trail is the old mining town of Rossland, now a residential quarter for Trail employees. AINSWORTH The name Ainsworth is perpetuated by the little town on the Kootenay Lake where hot springs and mysterious caves once led to mineral investigations. Teddy Roosevelt on a hunting trip up the Kootenays stayed there long enough to help ship out the first load of ore from the Kootenay mines to the United States. Today Ainsworth is no longer a mining centre but its hot springs are coming into their own. Sufferers from Bright's disease, lumbago or rheumatism go there. A new hotel has been built recently and plunge baths constructed. KASLO Kaslo is another picturesque, old time mining camp. It is built on the delta formed as Kaslo Creek flows into Kootenay Lake. Cherry trees line its streets. It is the centre of a fisherman's paradise and a sportsman's pipe dream. It has what might be called a really "sporty" nine hole golf course. The fairways are cleared through heavy timber and over rock ledges. Golfers tee off the side of a cliff, are bunkered in a mountain stream, meet big game at the seventh hole (probably) and land on a green at the edge of a precipice. Visitors are apt to come for a week and stay for a month. For hotel accommodation is simple, comfortable and very reasonable, and people will dispense with gilt in the right environment. Lardeau, also on Kootenay Lake to the north of Kaslo, is the centre of big game hunting. From Kaslo it is possible to go by a mountain link of the Canadian Pacific through marvellous scenery to Nakusp on the upper Arrows. The railway winds along deeply eroded river beds, across mountain streams tempting enough for fishermen to leap from the train and take their chance of a night's lodging anywhere, and among little mining towns familiar from stock market reports. At one point there is a view of the Slocan Lake that rivals anything ever seen. Silvery blue and elusive, it shines between the pines like a princess enchanted by youth's magician, and then the line slips through fertile unirrigated country and so on to the Arrows. NAKUSP Nakusp is a lumber town, whose market is the Prairies. Good fishing is found in the neighbourhood, and eight miles from the town are hot springs invaluable for rheumatism. HALCYON HOT SPRINGS At Halcyon too there are more hot springs. These waters contain a very large percentage of lithium, and are curative for many ills to which the flesh is heir. Arrowhead to Revelstoke forms the connecting link with the Canadian Pacific main line. SLOCAN LAKE Slocan Lake, which can be reached by rail from Kaslo or Nakusp or from Nelson via Slocan City, is a typically beautiful mountain lake. Hidden deep in the heart of the Selkirks its pine covered slopes rise sheer from emerald waters and snow capped peaks are mirrored in its translucent depths. New Denver and Silverton, both mining towns—with a difference—are on its eastern banks. The difference lies in the unusually lovely gardens and orchards that surround them. Page ?iine THE LAKE DISTRICT SLOCAN LAKE PACKING GOAT SKIN Page Ten OF BRITISH COLUMBIA REVELSTOKE Revelstoke on the Canadian Pacific main line is a junction for Arrowhead and the Arrow Lakes, a divisional point with workshops, and an excellent centre for an unusual holiday. It has a nine hole golf course overlooking the sinuous windings of the Columbia, and overlooked by the everlasting hills. A park of Olympian beauty is in its immediate vicinity and all kinds of hunting and fishing very near at hand. REVELSTOKE NATIONAL PARK Revelstoke National Park was opened on August 17, 1927, by the Prince of Wales and is approached by twenty miles of two way hard surfaced road, sheer into the heart of some of the loveliest scenery of the Selkirks. Lakes, glaciers, mountain streams, parklike plateaux, tall virgin timber all combine to enchant and amaze. Wanderers from Scotland find their native heather among its crags; Norwegians compare its grandeur to their northern fastnesses; the Swiss to their own dearly loved titans, and the Canadians recognize it as a magnificent spot in a beautiful province. WINDERMERE VALLEY Windermere Valley is a paradise of serene loveliness. Between the Rockies proper and the hardly less inspiring Selkirks, it is of the Kootenays and yet in a world apart. David Thompson discovered it in 1807, and people have been doing it ever since. That's the feeling it gives you. A surge and uplift of spirit, as if you yourself were very much a part of its harmonious beauty. As if the dawn of days was only the morning before, and this miraculous valley, so calm and unspoiled, a perfect gift from the High Gods. There are minerals among its mountains which if they do not hold fountains of eternal youth, which their benign majesty seems to promise, they do have many hot springs. To them from time immemorial, Indians have come to renew their strength, and of late years have journeyed other health seekers from far afield. These springs are of the radio-active variety. The soil of the valley is light and among other good p things produces the very finest Netted Gem potatoes. RADIUM HOT SPRINGS The best known of the hot springs are above Sinclair Canyon and at Fairmont. Sixty miles by rail from Golden on the main line the visitors at Sinclair are served by Radium Hot Springs Camp. There plunge baths are situated among green and velvety lawns, and there is a charming rustic camp among peacefully beautiful surroundings. THE HANGING GLACIERS Lake Windermere is itself warmed by hot springs. It's an ideal place for a dolce {ar niente existence: a heavenly lake for swimming lazily beneath blue skies and listening dreamily to Pan's Pipes, never too far distant among the shadowy pines. And not far, by trail, is the Lake of the Hanging Glaciers. There above a lake gently warmed by hot springs, hang icy fangs from frozen rivers. At intervals miniature ice-bergs drop into its translucent waters and daring swimmers play hide and go seek among them. On the shores of Lake Windermere is a Ranch Camp for girls (see page 12). Personality and affability distinguish the little towns of Windermere Valley. Wilmer, Invermere, Athalmer, all attract visitors. Athalmer has a yearly fair famous for its Indian handicrafts and more especially for its decorated gauntlet gloves. Fort Steele, south of Lake Windermere, on the Kootenay River, besides being a convenient point to outfit for hunting, is the centre of a ranching and fruit growing district. From Fernie, for many years noted for its coal, The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada is obtaining rock-phosphate rock for the new fertiliser plant at Trail. CRESTON Creston is the centre of a very prosperous orcharding and small fruits country. Since history was legendary, water fowl have made the emerald flats, on which the town now stands, a landing and resting place. And now The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company are using them for their Flying School and from them rise the wide wings of great man made birds. A glorious country — inspiring scenery — magnificent vistas I Adjectives pepper pages easily enough and still convey very little real idea of the beauties and romance of this La\e District of British Columbia. For one seeing is worth a thousand tellings and a welcome awaits the visitor.
