West Arm Provincial Park

This park extends along the shore of Kootenay Lake from Nelson to Harrop and up to the peaks behind. The creek fans and pocket beaches are popular with boaters and features 5 kilometres (9 mi) of hiking and walking trails including a historic trail (not maintained) up Lasca Creek.

A habitat for several endangered species and largely undeveloped, there are fishing, swimming and beach picnicking areas in the park with no facilities or designated campsites. Backcountry sites accessible by boat for short-term camping on a first-come, first-served basis.
