Slocan Valley Rail Trail

Slocan Valley Rail Trail

The Slocan Valley Rail Trail is a multi-use recreational rail trail located in the Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, namely the Slocan Valley.

The trail uses a rail corridor that was originally built for the Nakusp and Slocan Railway‎ which was abandoned by the Canadian Pacific Railway during the 1980s.

The 50-kilometre Slocan Valley Rail Trail is being developed by Tourism BC and the Slocan Valley Heritage Trail Society.
