Kaslo Halal Travel Guide

Kaslo was designated as a sawmill site in 1889, and grew on the silver boom of the 19th century. It retains much of the history from its mining days. The town today relies mainly on the industries of forestry and tourism.

Kaslo was incorporated as a city on August 14, 1893, making it the oldest incorporated community in the Kootenays. It was an important center for shipping and silver ore mining. After the silver rush Kaslo's fortunes faded but it was re-incorporated as a village on January 1, 1959.

Travel to Kaslo

Kaslo is about 65 kilometers north of Nelson (British Columbia) along the west side of Kootenay Lake. The easiest way to get to Kaslo is by vehicle as there is very limited public transit in this area. There is a small paved air strip near town which is used by small private planes but no commercial airlines land here. The closest airport with commercial airline service is in Castlegar, almost 2 hours away.

Central Kootenay Transit provides limited bus service between Nelson and Kaslo. For some time, this has meant service one day each week.

Get Around

Kaslo is small enough to be easily walkable and the main "shopping neighborhood" is only about a block long. Park your vehicle on a side street and wander. "Lower Kaslo", as the name suggests, is closest to Kootenay Lake and is where stores and retail outlets can be found. "Upper Kaslo" is mainly residential with great views of the village's natural setting.

What to see in Kaslo

• SS Moyie National Historic Site - Opening Hours: 9AM - 5PM $7 A world's oldest intact passenger sternwheeler, lovingly restored by the Kootenay Lake Historical Society, now making its home on the lakeshore just a minutes or two walk from downtown.

• Kaslo Jazz Etc Festival - Usually held over the August long weekend, this is an internationally recognized music festival that attracts crowds and famous musicians.

• May Days and Kaslo Logger Sports - Over the third weekend in May (a holiday weekend), Kaslo celebrates May Days with the main attraction being the Logger Sports activities. It's a good display of the varied skills found in this erstwhile logging town. With the logging industry going through a sustained slowdown and these skills seem to be finding more use in the tourist business than in the woods.

• Village Hall - Built in 1898, it is one of only two intact wooden municipal buildings that are still in use in Canada.

Travel Next

If you really want to get out, consider going on a challenging backcountry hike. There are many to choose from and they've been keeping lots of the local residents busy for years. These aren't always easy to find and they are challenging, so you need to be prepared.Arm yourself with a copy of the trail guide Where Locals Hike in the West Kootenay and the latest copy of the Backroads Mapbook of the area, possibly a topographic map, a high clearance vehicle and some knowledge of how to conduct yourself in mountainous terrain where bears live and visit some of the truly stunning destinations available in the area. Some examples would include Monica Meadows, Macbeth Icefield trail, Whitewater Creek (not anywhere near the ski hill, despite the similar name), Fry Creek Canyon, Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park....

Rent a kayak and go for a paddle. These are available in Kaslo from Kaslo Kayaking .Just be aware that Kootenay Lake may look like a calm millpond at times, but can experience high winds that attack without notice, making the lake very rough and potentially dangerous. You could end up trapped on the other side of the lake, or worse....

At the right time of year, late August to October and the Kokanee salmon (aka Redfish) start spawning.An excellent place to see them is the Meadow Creek Spawning Channel about 45 minutes north of Kaslo.

Drive to the top of Mt Buchanan for a fantastic view of Kaslo, Kootenay Lake and the surrounding mountains from an old fire lookout almost a kilometer above the town. Most vehicles can handle the Mt Buchanan Forest Service Road, about 12 kilometers west of Kaslo on Highway 31a towards New Denver, just be aware that it is steep in places and requires some care.

Visit Cody Caves Provincial Park just south of Kaslo about 3 kilometers north of Ainsworth on Highway 31. Drive another 10 kilometers west on a narrow forest service road to the Park. Cave tours are available during July and August starting from $45/adult, $35/child for a 2-hpur your (1 hour underground).

After your day of fun, visit Ainsworth Hot Springs Resort for a soak. Cost is $10 for adults. This is part of a 43-room resort and includes a dining room.
