Slocan Lake Boat Tours

Slocan Lake Boat Taxi

Looking to be dropped off at a remote beach for the day. We can get you to a beach at Bannock Point or Wragge Beach. Take a picnic and spend the day, or the night and we will pick you up later. Rates depend on destination from $20-$30 per person.

The Tour Boat

I operate a 24 ft freighter canoe equipped with a 40 hp outboard. There is lots of room for 12 people and it is very stable. A very shallow draft allows us to get close to the shore. It is the perfect boat for a lake cruise.

Boat Tour Routes

Typically we have two basic tours both lasting about two hours.
The northern tour departs New Denver and follows the shoreline to Bigelow Bay on the north side of New Denver and then out to the Molly Hughes Mine. Near the Golf Course we cruise across the lake to the Valhalla Park looking for Osprey nests. We can see the waterfall at Wee Sandy Creek and then Sharp Creek flowing from the New Denver Glacier. If time permits we can also check out the CPR Barge and pictographs before returning to New Denver.
The southern tour departs New Denver and heads across to the Valhalla Park and the CPR Barge and pictographs. We follow the shoreline looking for Osprey and then cross the lake to Bannock Point with beautiful steep cliffs and an awesome picnic spot. The return journey follows the remote shoreline until reaching Silverton and then Nelson.

Bannock Point

These are not the cliffs that people talk about diving at Bannock Point. They are just around the corner - but pretty spectacular! The cliffs at Bannock point forestry camping site are 2-20 ft tall rounded granite that drop right into the lake so you cannot see the bottom. Great place to hang out for the afternoon, the night or the summer....
