An easy 800 m trail useful for getting some exercise while waiting for the ferry, especially on those multiple sailing waits over the summer.

Time: 15-20 minutes 
Access: Easy – paved road

Drive: From Nakusp head North on Highway 23 for 48km to the Galena Bay ferry that takes you across Arrow Lake to Revelstoke. Once you are at the ferry landing, the trailhead is down by the lookout near the water, there is a kiosk with a trail map and info there.

This trail was built by the Nakusp and Area Community Forest and is managed in conjunction with Recreation Sites and Trails BC.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
