Established in the 1890s Trail is home to the largest
non-ferrous lead and zinc smelter in the world. Industrial tours of the Cominco smelter or
the local dams can be arranged through the Chamber of Commerce. A large influx of Italian
immigrants in the early 1900s has lent a distinctive character to Trail – a festive
love of life experienced today in such celebrations as Silver City Days. Grape-stomping, parades, and pasta dinners are the order of the day at this
annual festival held during the second weekend in May. |
A new Aquatic Centre, open seven days a week, is a
popular centre of activity. The city also enjoys a tremendous tradition of excellence in
sports, industry, business and lifestyle. Stop by the newly erected Home of Champions
monument in downtown Trail commemorating locals who have proved themselves champions in
their field.
In addition to hiking on mountain trails, you can fish the mighty Columbia River or
enjoy a picnic in Gyro Park. Winter fun is only 10km away at Red Mountain and the nearby
cross-country trails.
