Nelson Bodies of Water
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Bodies of Water in Nelson, British Columbia.
Stretching 144 km north from just above Creston BC, this long thin lake draws boaters, fishers and campers to its coves, beaches and crystalline water. The weather here is relatively mild with lengthy hot spells in the summer. In the southern reaches of the lake, orchards funnel fruit to roadside stalls. In winter, heavy snowfall provides solid bases for skiing in the surrounding mountains.
Kootenay River
The Kootenay River starts in Canadian Rockies in the southeastern corner of British Columbia and flows into Montana and Idaho before returning to BC and joining the Columbia River. Near its start, the river actually passes within 2 km (1.2 mi) of Columbia Lake (the headwaters of the Columbia River) but doesn't actually meet the mighty Columbia until some 700 km (430 mi) later.
