West Boundary
The West Boundary is a place where you can relax, play and explore endless outdoor fun for you and your family. Recreational activities include camping, cycling and mountain biking, hiking, and horseback riding. The Kettle Valley Railway (KVR), and the Columbia and Western Railway (CWR) rail trails make up a 155km section of the Trans Canada Trail connecting our communities. Midway is “Mile 0” of the KVR and the terminus of the CWR. These railways provided rail travel across southern British Columbia in the early 1900s.
Carmi and Beaverdell are the “Gateway to the Boundary.” These small communities are a 40 minute drive to Big White and 45 minutes to Kelowna. Throughout the West Boundary there are thousands of kilometres of undeveloped roads that will lead you into forest and mountain backcountry. This is a great opportunity for those who favour all-terrain vehicles and trailer camping. A multitude of user maintained backcountry campsites and hundreds of lakes for fly fishing await you. Those interested in more established resorts can check out Idabel Lake Resort, Big White Resort, and Jewel Lake Resort.
