YOUR YEAR-ROUND
ADVENTURES START HERE

Recreation is part of the package when you
own on Lake Koocanusa

Picture yourself on the lake
No matter how you and your family spend time in and around KV, you won’t ever hear the words, “I’m bored.”

Snowshoeing or ATVing in the vast Ponderosa forests— the perfect backdrop for your winter outdoor excursion.

Lazy summer days of gently gliding in a kayak or reading on your deck? Check. Heart-pounding fun as you wake surf with the kids and realize you feel like a kid yourself? Double check.

Summer, fall, winter, spring – you’ll find plenty to keep your family active in each season.

Boating

The wind in your hair and long, sun-soaked days are yours as you boat the length of Lake Koocanusa. Don’t forget to pack a picnic – chances are, you won’t want to return until dusk.

Fishing

In Lake Koocanusa drop a line for Gerrard Rainbow, Kokanee Salmon, and Bull Trout. Or head to rivers and smaller lakes nearby for Rainbow Trout and Eastern Brook Trout.

Swimming & Paddling

The warm, turquoise water beckons avid swimmers. Or explore the lake in your canoe or kayak as you discover cliffs, inlets and sandy beaches.

SUMMER
FUN

Wakesurf

Find your centre, find the wave and keep pace with the boat, no rope required.

Dirt bikes & quads

Hit the backcountry and challenge your agility as you throttle your way through rugged terrain.

Hiking & mountain biking

Plunge deep into valleys or ascend mountain terrain to find great views. Choose your own adventure as you cover hundreds of kilometres of natural trails on foot or pedaling your mountain bike.

Waterpark

Just south of KV on the lake is an aquatic playground at Sunshine Waterpark. It’s a great way to enjoy the water and sunshine. You can bet the kids (and maybe even you) will want to spend all day here!

Fly fishing

In a class by itself, fly fishing is like meditating in hip waders. Perfect your cast as you enjoy some of Canada’s premium fly fishing in the numerous lakes and rivers within minutes of Koocanusa Village.

NEW! Pickleball at Koocanusa Village


Where Community Comes to Play
What began as a few friendly games in neighbourhood driveways has become one of Koocanusa Village's favourite places to gather.

Our three pickleball courts are the result of an incredible community effort. Led by passionate residents, supported by generous volunteers and donors, and partially funded by the Koocanusa Village Association, the courts represent the spirit of collaboration that makes this community so special.

Today, they're filled with friendly competition, laughter, and players of every age and skill level.

Whether you're picking up a paddle for the first time or you're a seasoned player, you'll find a welcoming community ready to rally, encourage, and have fun.

More Than a Game
Pickleball has quickly become one of the fastest-growing sports in North America, and it's easy to see why. It's easy to learn, enjoyable for all ages, and a wonderful way to stay active while connecting with neighbours and friends.

At Koocanusa Village, you'll often find grandparents playing alongside grandkids, families enjoying an evening match, and new friendships forming between games.

And if you're new to the sport? Don't worry. Someone is always happy to explain the rules, help you learn the score, or introduce you to pickleball favourites like "the kitchen" and "dinking."

Built by the Community
These courts stand as a testament to what can happen when a community comes together.

Hundreds of volunteer hours, donated equipment, generous financial contributions, and countless acts of kindness helped transform an idea into one of Koocanusa Village's newest amenities.

To everyone who contributed your time, expertise, resources, and enthusiasm—thank you. Your generosity has created a place that will bring people together for years to come.

A Few House Rules

We like to keep things simple:
  • Have fun.
  • Welcome new players.
  • Cheer each other on.
  • And remember... no ball is worth a fall.

With comfortable seating beside the courts, there's a great place to watch the action, socialize with neighbours, or wait for your next game.

WINTER
ACTIVITIES

Skiing & boarding

Head to nearby Fernie or Kimberley for world-class downhill ski conditions. Or choose the path less travelled when you cross-country ski and tour to backcountry lodges.

Sledding

Pack your mittens along with your inner child. There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned toboggan run to get your heart pumping in more ways than one.

Fatbiking

Miss your mountain bike in the winter? Enter the fat bike for year-round riding.

Snowshoeing

Just like walking, only better. You’ll get a great workout as you cut your own trail and discover new favourite destinations in the surrounding public lands.

Hunting

Choose rifle or bow, and then select whether you’re after elk, deer or wild turkey.

ATVing & snowmobiling

There are so many reasons why the Kootenays are considered one of the top recreation destinations with ATVing or sledding. Leaving right rom your doorstep is one of those reasons. ATV and sled access on public land is yours to enjoy with many established routes for your immediate enjoyment.
