SPRING, - Wildflowers and Hiking

Recommended March 15 - June 15

Springbrook Resort is located at the valley bottom with the Kootenay River on one side and Springbrook Creek on the other. With natural wildflowers growing on the property from yellow orchids to purple and white phlox, mauve crocuses, white daisies, pink roses, purple shooting stars and bear grass. Marnie finds an early morning walk with coffee an easy way to start the day. The Rocky Mountain Naturalists have put together a Wildflower checklist (over 100 of the common species of wildflowers and shrubs in our area), and Birds of Southeastern British Columbia (over 140). These lists are available if you would like to test your knowledge.

SUMMER - Canoe the Kootenay

  Recommended July 1 - October 15
(lake canoeing May 1 - October 15)

Arrive early evening to the cozy comfort of a kitchenette mmotel unit. Sleep late or up early, the four to five hour float on the Kootenay River can be done to fit your schedule. Complete the evening by sitting around the campfire, enjoying the company of other guests. The next day a dip in one of the Natural Hot Springs, more canoeing, site seeing, or just a day in the sun. *please note we do not supply the canoe, please bring your own.

Arrive late afternoon to the cozy comfort of a motel kitchenette unit. A stroll around Springbrook, to visit with our family of bunnies, or just early evening sitting in the sun. Sleep late or up early, breakfast in or use the restaurant across the street. When you're ready, pack the camera, an individualized lunch, swim suit, and warm cover-up, and off you go with map in hand. Your circle tour will take you through two provincial parks past two natural hot springs. Unlimited chances at wildlife viewing. All terrain vehicle suggested on gravel roads with rough sections. After a day of exploring cook a fine dinner on the campfire or BBQ with a bottle of red or white and complete the evening sitting around the campfire, enjoying the company of other guests.
