Radium Hot Springs

After a long day of enjoying the many activities that Radium has to offer, soak away your aches and pains in the 40°C (104°F) therapeutic, odorless mineral hot springs. It is located within the boundaries of Kootenay National Park, considered to be amongst the finest in the world. Unlike some hot springs, these waters are free of odorous sulphur.

Wildlife in the area includes mule deer, grizzly bears, black bears, mountain goats, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Much of the province is wild or semi-wild, so that populations of many mammalian species that have become rare in much of the United States still flourish in British Columbia. Given its varied mountainous terrain and its coasts, lakes, rivers, and forests, British Columbia has long been enjoyed for pursuits like hiking and camping, rock climbing, and mountaineering.

Lake Windemere

Lake Windermere is a very popular vacationing spot, especially for residents of Calgary, which is a three-hour car drive to the Rocky Mountains, turn south on Highway 95 in Radium Hot Springs. Nestled in the scenic Columbia Valley with the Rocky Mountains to the east and the Purcell Mountains to the west, Lake Windermere is actually a very large widening in the Columbia River. It is one of the largest and warmest lakes in the region and has an average depth of only 4,50 meters.

Lake Windermere is very heavily used for motor-boating, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, fishing and other recreational activities. On summer days, there are often up to 200 power boats on the lake at the same time! Art, heritage, charm, friendliness - these are Windermere words. Warm sunny days and crisp Rocky Mountain evenings. Ruffles on the lake and sunset on the Purcell Mountains.

Laze the day away under a maple tree at the Windermere Beach. Pack up a picnic and let the kids loose in the playground, shake out your towel and come for a dip - the Windermere Beach focuses on fun! Just a leisurely walk from the Town Center.

The region is popular with hikers and home to the Columbia River Wetlands, which is North America’s largest intact wetland and a designated site under the Ramsar Convention, an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands.

The Invermere Airport houses the non-profit Canadian Rockies Soaring Club which welcomes dozens of student pilots and private owners in the summer months and provides glider rides to the general public. The local area is also a popular destination for other non-motorized forms of flying including hang-gliding and paragliding with a launch site at nearby Mount Swansea.

Kootenay National Park

Kootenay National Park is located in southeastern British Columbia Canada, covering 1,406 km2 (543 sq mi) in the Canadian Rockies, and forms part of a World Heritage Site.

From glacier-clad peaks along the Continental Divide to semi-arid grasslands of the Rocky Mountain Trench, where cactus grows, Kootenay National Park is noted for its diversity of landscapes, ecology and climate. The 94 km Banff-Windermere Highway (93 South) takes you through the park along the Vermilion and Kootenay rivers and through the narrow gorge of Sinclair Canyon to the famous Radium Hot Springs. Many use the highway simply as a scenic route to reach the Windermere Valley, beyond the park’s southern boundary.

While the park is open all year, the major tourist season lasts from June to September. The park takes its name from the Kootenay River, one of the two major rivers which flow through the park, the other being the Vermillion River. The park’s main attractions include the Hot Springs, Olive Lake, Marble Canyon, Sinclair Canyon and the Paint Pots. The hot springs offer a hot springs pool ranging from 35°C to 47°C (95°F to 117 °F). Because of the relatively small width of the park (five miles on each side of the highway), many of the park’s attractions are situated near the road and are wheelchair accessible.

Kootenay National Park of Canada offers opportunities to experience the Rocky Mountains, learn about their natural and cultural heritage, and connect with nature.
