Cranbrook

The Land of Secret Lakes

Surrounded by mountains and dotted with lakes, Cranbrook sits in the heart of one of the East Kootenay’s most water-rich landscapes. Nearby Packham’s Lake offers scenic shorelines without the crowds, while the Kootenay River winds through the valley and offers gentle stretches as well as spicy ones. Add in countless smaller lakes tucked into the surrounding forests and foothills, and the options quickly multiply. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful paddle close to town or a quiet lake all to yourself, Cranbrook is your spot. Go now though. It won’t remain a secret forever.
