A peek into Kohan Reflection Garden, with a sprayer running in the rain.
We went to New Denver in British Columbia, Canada, when we were camping at Rosebury Park .
We have previously visited there in 2016 and 2023.
We arrived on Friday for the New Denver Friday Market. Along with fruits, veggies, baked products, and other food items, there were also lovely handcrafted items like jewellery, woodworking, fibre art, and pottery. To mention a few: Otter Leatherworks, Dawnfire Forge and Morgen Bardatifiber, artist. No dogs are allowed.
When we arrived at the visitor's centre, housed in the old Bank of Montreal building, I was given complimentary maps and pamphlets by a very friendly woman. We went to the Silvery Slocan Museum, which is located in the building.
We visited the Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre and Sandon near New Denver. In 2023, we visited the beautiful Kohan Reflection Garden and Sandon Ghost Town.
We also visited Sandon Ghost Town in 2016.
View of Slocan Lake in the Rosebery community.
"Slocan Lake is a lake in the Slocan Valley of the West Kootenay region of the Southeastern Interior of British Columbia, Canada. With an area of 69.29 km2 (26.75 sq mi) it has a maximum depth of 298 m (978 ft). It is fed by Bonanza Creek and drained by the Slocan River.
In 1947, a Canadian Pacific locomotive was lost in the lake when a barge on which it was being carried sank. The locomotive was located in 2020. The largest community on the lake is a village known as Slocan City."- Wikipedia
"Beautiful Slocan Lake occupies a scenic portion of British Columbia’s Slocan River Valley. This natural undammed lake is unusual as it has no major rivers running into it. Instead, a number of small streams bring water into the deep and cold 20-mile-long lake which drains to the Slocan River. Nestled between the West Kootenay and Valhalla mountain ranges, a large portion of Slocan Lake’s shoreline has steep slopes rising above it, making development difficult. The mountains, large conifer forests, and distance from large cities have saved the remote, 17,100-acre lake from over-development, providing beautiful views of mountain peaks, glaciers and wilderness. Those who discover Slocan Lake are rewarded with a wide variety of recreational opportunities geared to outdoors fans."- Lake Lubbers
"Pictographs on the cliffs above the lake’s shoreline show evidence that First Nations bands called this area home long before European explorers arrived. In the late 1800s, silver-lead ore deposits brought a rush of miners to the area. Railroads built for hauling ore provided access to the area, and a number of villages grew up along the shore and near the many mines." ...more Lake Lubbers
