Beautiful scenery, Cabins available, well kept RV & Tent sites available, older but clean Bathrooms available. I slept like a rock listening to the nearby creek, very peaceful. They have a small Italian Restaurant with both inside and outside seating, a Boat Ramp/Marina and beautiful views of the Mountains and Kootenay Lake. I will most definitely be staying there again when i am back in the area. :{)

Kootenay River Run is located at the Radium Hot Springs. They are at the east side of the…read moreintersection of BC 93 and BC 95. They provide full package equipment of water rafting. The equipment including the raincoats, water shoes, helmets, paddle, raft, lunch, and snack. The guide is included if you wonder:) The river they take is class 1 or 2 and it more to the scenic rafting with a bit of wave. During our visit, the snow run off make the water brown instead of clear. But it has a lot of water which is good and fast. The reason I said this is a scenic tour because it has beautiful mountains view on both side. The breathtaking is when they dock to the bottom of the waterfalls. The raft got splash by the mists of the falls and it is indescribable experience. Along the way you will get wet due to high current. We also see bird nesting on the rock. And the rock is like glitter reflect the sunlight in silver color. I would recommend this rafting tour to family. The only downside is the bathroom outhouse not to civil standard. But you are at the jungle and mountain. Go to nature for your business. Love this tour. I would take the whole day tour and enjoy the nature with fun along the way.

My family and I recently took a trip with the Kootenay River Runners. It was great, but what a day…read morewe had... The weather was brutal. It was so cold my 17yr old niece was crying by the end of the trip. I must say, it might be the coldest have ever been. Rain, wind, cold cold cold freshly melted glacier water spraying all over the boat... and what an awesome experience it turned out to be. It could have gone horribly wrong however... it was really the staff that saved the day. We went out in two boats with four guides. A team of really friendly and funny Aussies in one boat and in our boat some local Canadian fellows. "Ian and Chris" (sorry if I got their names wrong) were out trip leaders and they were great. They knew their stuff too. Pointing out history of the area, geological information and all the while navigating a boat through very difficult weather. At no point did I feel unsafe or worry about the safety of my family on the boat. Had the weather been a bit warmer it would have been nice; but all in all it was a trip that will never be forgotten. Sadly because of the weather we saw more wildlife from the bus to/from the River Runners office (Black Bear, Grizz, Moose, Deer, Bald Eagle) but that's not their fault. I would use them again and suggest them to anyone looking to run the Kootenay River! No doubt. Sadly one of our party could not make the trip as they were injured the day prior. Without even asking they offered to refunded his trip the morning of the trip. This was truly appreciated and very unique. These guys are a first class operation and your search for a River Guide should stop with KRR!
