The Silvery Slocan area - New Denver, Sandon, Slocan Lake - is an area of deep glacial lakes separated by towering mountains, dense forests and wilderness parks.

During the mining boom of the late 1800s, dreamers and schemers flocked to the area.  The mining history has left this area with a legacy of historic towns, old mines and railway grades with endless opportunities to explore on foot or by bike.

The Galena Trail is a 13 km (8 mi) park running from Rosebery Provincial Park to Three Forks.  A perfect outing for the whole family; it includes bridges, trail signage and a cable car ride over Carpenter Creek.
