The 32-hectare Roseberry Provincial Park lies in the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket, Okanagan, Shuswap, Westbank and Sinixt First Nations that inhabited the area long before the arrival of Europeans.
Try your luck for rainbow trout or dolly varden in Wilson Creek, but note that Wilson Creek is closed to fishing below Burkitt Creek. Fishing for rainbow trout in Slocan Lake is also popular. Visitors can also explore the numerous ghost-mining towns nearby and after an exciting day, relax in the many commercial or undeveloped natural hot springs in the area.
The adventurous might want to canoe the length of the lake, staying close to the western shores, which can take from two to five days. The shoreline has many attractive sand and cobble beaches to enjoy. Boaters are warned that Slocan Lake can experience treacherous winds, so consult locals before setting out on the lake.
