Slocan City
 

Now, we offer tranquil sights of the Slocan Lake and the Valhalla Mountain Range. Our village provides a school, a kiddie park, shopping, a gas station, auto repair, accommodations, post office, and restaurant. Several businesses are in operation here. There are two churches: St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and St. Mary's Catholic Church. There is a bus service to local areas.
Slocan is the launching point for the Evans Lake Trail into the Valhalla Provincial Park and the start of Rails to Trails at the south end of Slocan Lake to Winlaw, Passmore and South Slocan.
Hike or bike the old railbed, swim at our beach, walk the Springer Creek Campground Trails, use our new boatlaunch, or watch the clouds move across our narrow valley.
