Nature in Boundary

Take a Walk On the Wild Side

Nature in Boundary Country isn’t just scenery, it’s an invitation. Paddle quiet lakes, hike golden larch forests, snowshoe through peaceful glades or cast a line in crisp mountain streams. With four distinct seasons, abundant wildlife and endless trails, nature is always in season and beckoning for an adventure.

Activities

Step into the wild, any time of year. Hike or cycle scenic rail trails, snowshoe alpine paths, watch birds at sunrise or paddle across calm waters. Fish for rainbow trout in spring, photograph fall larches or track wildlife in winter snow. From riverside meadows to mountain viewpoints, Boundary Country is built for nature lovers.

A person wearing a hat and fishing gear enjoys fly-fishing from a small inflatable raft on a calm lake, surrounded by tall trees and grassy shoreline in the background.

Lakes and Rivers and Streams, oh my!

You can ice fish in the winter and after the ice has melted, come back and shore fish in the spring and fall. Come summer, you can fish in the lakes and rivers all day long. Fly, lure or stringer, you don’t need much more than a rod here.
