The Kootenay Lake Ferry travels between Balfour and Kootenay Bay. The free ferry is busy throughout the summer transporting cars, trucks and motor homes across the main lake – a scenic cruise that takes a little more than a half hour from dock to dock.
The village of Balfour is a small but vibrant community and offers visitors a wide range of activities such as hiking, biking, golfing, boating and fishing. Full amenities are also offered: fine dining and great pub food, and hotel accommodation to campgrounds.
Balfour is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and friendly people. They are minutes from the beautiful city of Nelson and also a quick ferry ride from the quaint villages of Harrop and Procter.
