Galena Shores is located on the shores of beautiful Galena Bay on Upper Arrow Lake, approximately halfway between Nakusp and Revelstoke. The calm waters of Galena Bay are surrounded by mountain wilderness, looking westward to the Glaciated peaks of the Monashee Mountains and backing onto the wild and rugged Selkirk Mountains. Climate wise, the region is famous for high hot and dry summers and lots of snow in winter with 4 distinct seasons. There are numerous natural attractions such as backcountry lakes, pristine creeks and rivers and hot springs—some as close as 10-15 minutes away. Here you can find everything from a full-service hot spring resorts to more natural backcountry pools accessible by a short hike. The nearby communities of Beaton (15 minutes) and Trout Lake (20 minutes) have small populations of less than 60 year-round residents combined. Revelstoke and Nakusp are the closest towns—Nakusp is 35 minutes away, Revelstoke a little further and about an hour including the ferry.
Nakusp (nearest town) has a population of 1,700 and offers all your basic amenities, including a community health centre, hospital and vet. The town has a 3,000 ft paved runway, great schools, quaint shops and services, Save on Foods, and a small but vibrant arts community. Nakusp also fronts on Upper Arrow Lake and has a great marina facility and attractive waterfront.
With a population of approximately 10,000, Revelstoke offers all the amenities one requires with multiple grocery stores, numerous and specialty shops, restaurants and cafes, all your professional services, spas, a great hospital with emergency service, two new schools and a picturesque and vibrant western style town core. Revelstoke’s economy is based around tourism, forestry and the railroad. The largest growth sector of late is tourism as more and more visitors come for outdoor adventures year-round. Revelstoke Mountain Resort has the highest vertical drop in North America and some of the deepest and most consistent snow conditions on earth.
The Arrow Lakes are situated between the Selkirk Mountains to the east and the Monashee Mountains to the west. A free year-round ferry crosses the Arrow Lake with the southern ferry terminal less than 10 mins away from this property. The ferry runs hourly and year-round, between the hours of 5 a.m. and midnight, there is no cost for the ferry and brings a lot of traffic by this property. The Arrow Lakes are widened portions of the Columbia River as it winds its way south to the US border. Originally two separate lakes, the Arrow Lakes became one 230-km-long lake with the construction of the Keenleyside Dam in the 1960s. At low water levels the two lakes become separated, once again, although connected by a section known as the Narrows.
In summer the boating on Arrow Lake is fabulous, there are lots of interesting excursions—up the long and fjord like Beaton Arm which extends more than 12 km off the main lake body, kayak along the shores of Galena Bay, visit historical sites such as the ghost town of Arrowhead, or just zip around the bay in your boat from the dock (included in the sale). Fishing is top notch year-round, but best in the fall/winter months with large rainbows 9-15 lbs. a common catch, dollies are also prevalent, as are the smaller and delicious kokanee salmon. Extending immediately out of the private roads of Galena Shores are great quadding and dirt biking roads. For those who want to get into the backcountry even further there are Forest Service Roads that take you up amazing mountain valleys. Or for those who are looking for a scenic route, the drive south to Meadow Creek and Kaslo along Trout Lake and the Lardeau River is one of the best in BC. In late April/May the Gerhard rainbow are spawning at the end of Trout Lake (approx. 1 hour away) and these are the largest trout in the world—a must see! Other summer activities include wildlife watching, hiking, great mountain bike trails, natural hot springs, or just kick back and enjoy the stunning mountain and lake scenery.
In winter you have some BC’s best winter activities nearby, and a few backcountry adventure lodges are present in the area. Revelstoke Mountain Resort is approximately 1 hour away and offers world class skiing, heli-skiing, snowmobiling, Nordic skiing and of course those awesome hot springs are fantastic in the winter months as well. Some of the best fishing of the year is during the winter months as the lake remains open water year-round. And what better way to spend a snowy winter day than in a hot spring only minutes away.
