Central Kootenay D balances wilderness and community, stretching along the north end of Kootenay Lake and up to Duncan Lake with views that change by the hour. Residents in places like Meadow Creek, Lardeau, Argenta, and Johnsons Landing trade traffic for trailheads, boat launches, and starlit skies, while relying on nearby Kaslo for everyday services and a lively arts scene. Outdoor days often lead into Goat Range Provincial Park, where old-growth forests, alpine meadows, and the famed Gerrard rainbow trout run showcase why this corner of the Kootenays is so beloved. Local governance, building permits, recreation facilities, and emergency services are coordinated through the Regional District of Central Kootenay’s Electoral Area D.
Families are served by School District 8 (Kootenay Lake), with Jewett Elementary in Meadow Creek and J.V. Humphries School in Kaslo supporting learners from kindergarten through graduation. Scenic Highway 31 and 31A make weekend loops to the heritage storefronts of New Denver and the galleries and eateries of Nelson easy, while regional flights via Castlegar connect you to the wider world. For year-round adventure, hiking, paddling, and backcountry skiing are part of the routine, with protected areas like Goat Range Provincial Park adding world-class terrain right next door.
