Took a walk up to the Pilot Bay Lighthouse. Easy trail, slightly uphill and well worn. The lighthouse is wood and was used to note the entrance to the West Arm of Kootenay Lake. It has not been used for many years and is the subject of a historical preservation society. The light was visible for 30 miles in each direction on the lake.

This is the view of the lake from the top of the lighthouse. Spectacular views everywhere in this part of the world.

Beautiful… I love bc lived in van recently was magical
Same, we live in Calgary, but have an RV site and a sailboat on this lake. Awe inspiring country
Beautiful especially the interior
Stay tuned, have a summer full of pictures to post over the next while. Kootenay Lake is like the Okanagan, only less people and way more green..
