Mountain Biking
Shifting gears!
While it’s always a little sad when the lifts stop turning for the winter and the warm weather melts away our snowy playground, it’s comforting to know that we can get our fix flying down the mountain on two wheels instead of two planks.
Rossland, Canada’s true mountain bike Mecca, has over 200kms (wow!) of trails that hit all the notes from Beginner to Expert, not to mention the Millennial Trail Expansion that took place in the summer of 2020 right at the base of RED adding an additional 5.8km of trails to the Rossland mountain bike network. It’s time to pump up those tires and hit the trails!

Kayaking works your arms, shoulders, back and core. The fresh air is great for you too!
Paddleboarding and kayaking can also be leisurely. Get on the water and leave your busy life behind.
Rafting & Kayaking
Adventure Rafting is our hottest tour AND coolest way to escape the heat of the summer! Experience the Slocan Valley, with our secret swimming holes and rich history story telling. We can accommodate small groups of 3-4 per raft or up to 8 per raft. Ask about our accessible rafting and large group discounts.
Sport Fishing
When you go fishing, why not catch fish? Local guides know when and what the fish are feeding on. They will quickly put you on fish and show you the right techniques. Local guides know the waterways where they live. Boat fishing is the most productive way to fish the mighty Columbia, but it can be intimidating. Be prepared, be safe - use a local expert. Take the pressure off yourself, kick back, and let your guide do the work. This is who WeSportFish with.
