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 tripod with a spotting scope stands in a grassy field under a cloudy sky, perfect for birding, surrounded by trees and distant hills.

Take a Walk in Nature

One of the great things about birding is that you don't need much in the way of gear. The most important pieces of equipment are good shoes and a pair of binoculars. Riverside Visitor Centre in Rock Creek hosts an annual Bird Day every spring with a bird count and guest speakers.
