Recent improvements include rejuvenating the main access corridor, installing a City Centre business-grade broadband network and passing two public referendums for a new pipeline/pedestrian bridge and an integrated library/museum (Riverfront Centre). The City also acquired the Trail Regional Airport which

recently welcomed a new Trail-Kelowna flight in addition to its daily Trail-Vancouver route.

The beautified riverfront walkway provides access to the Trail Market on the Esplanade during summer months, our annual Silver City Days celebration and the City’s BC Rivers Day shoreline clean-up.

Our civic pride is evident through participation in the national Communities in Bloom program. From heritage conservation to environmental awareness, our residents’ can-do attitude is showcased with a burst of colour.

Explore Your TrailThe City’s new mayor, Mike Martin, hit the ground running this year with many exciting projects that will all contribute to the City of Trail’s goals of downtown revitalization, economic development and long-term sustainability.

“It’s an exciting time for us as we work towards building our future,” said Mayor Martin.

The City will be focussing on the construction of the pipeline/pedestrian bridge, the integrated library/museum facility (Riverfront Centre) and will continue to explore terminal enhancements and operational improvements at the City-owned Trail Regional Airport. “The City will also work diligently on seeking development for the Esplanade lands,” continued Martin.“The prime real estate along the City’s scenic River Walk is an excellent opportunity for business-venture investments.”

The soon-to-be pipeline/pedestrian bridge is a perfect example of how the City is taking a synergistic approach to a capital project,” said Martin. The Regional District was proceeding with a utility pipe across the Columbia River; therefore the City took the opportunity to add a secondary water crossing, a � bre-optic conduit and a pedestrian walkway. This signature structure will connect our community to the Columbia River, the downtown core, attract visitors and improve cycling and walking routes.The Riverfront Centre, a multi-generational gathering place with a community focus, will be an engaging facility with a modern Library and Heritage Centre. “The Riverfront Centre will offer interactive, hands-on learning with up-to-date technology,” he said. “It will also be an exciting place to experience Trail’s history as an industrial yet culturally-rich society, and will provide an attraction for both citizens and visitors while highlighting the riverfront.”The City’s airport will continue to be an economic driver for our entire region. “With the addition of the Paci� c Coastal Trail/Kelowna route, the recently approved lowered approach minimums and the development of the airport lands, the City will ensure that passengers have appropriate services when choosing to use the Trail Regional Airport,” said Martin. “We invite everyone to visit Trail,” concluded Martin. “We’ve always taken immense pride in our citizens, our community with its diverse culture and our scenic landscape. Now, more than ever, we have more to explore.”

Explore Our History Taming a RiverThe Mighty Columbia, at 2,237 km long, is born in the Rocky Mountains, meanders through pristine lakes and forests, battles its way past industries and through 14 dams until it � nally � ghts its way into the Paci� c Ocean in Oregon.The Columbia River Valley was � rst populated by natives who hunted and � shed the river. Known as the Lakes Tribe, part of the Okanagan and Shuswap nations, their number was estimated at 20,000 but by the late 1800s, there were few families left. Explorer and cartographer David Thompson was � rst to come down, map and chart the Columbia, all the way to its mouth in 1807. In 1859, the Hudson Bay Company established Fort Shepherd on the river across from the mouth of the Pend d”Oreille. It burned to the ground in 1872. The Dewdney Trail, which wound through the mountains above Rossland, was the � rst pack-trail across southern B.C. The trail’s creek entered the river through a 343-acre plateau which came to be called Trail Creek Landing.

Mining and SmeltingAfter gold and copper were discovered near Rossland in 1890, ore was shipped down river to a smelter in Washington. Two entrepreneurs, Eugene Sayre Topping and Frank Hanna, bought up the plateau and created a town. Trail Creek Landing soon attracted Fritz A. Heinze, who purchased land on a high bank overlooking the settlement and built the � rst smelter. Mining and smelting attracted immigrants and the City of Trail was incorporated in 1901 and the name was shortened to Trail.

A City GrowsIn 1912, the � rst bridge was built, allowing residential development along the east banks of the river and connecting Trail to the Beaver Valley and beyond. But early settlers were subject to the river’s frequent � oods and ice � ows. During the big � ood in 1948, still in some people’s memory, the water came dangerously close to the “old bridge.” This prompted the building of the river wall. The last big � ood was in 1961, before the building of the Hugh Keenleyside Dam above Castlegar. But Trail wasn’t safe from over� owing water. Trail Creek and other area creeks proved to do as much damage in later years. The old bridge closed in 2010 due to structural issues. Construction of a new pedestrian bridge is slated to begin in the fall of 2015.

Teck Metals Ltd. – a city within a cityThe smelter that Heinze built in 1896 was purchased in 1898 by the Canadian Paci� c Railway (CPR), forming the subsidiary called the Canadian Smelting Works. In 1906, the War Eagle, Centre Star, and St. Eugene mines, along with the Rossland Power Company were amalgamated with the smelter to create the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada Ltd. (CM&S). In 1910, CM&S purchased the Sullivan Mine in Kimberley.During the years 1917-1920 using the rich lead/zinc Sullivan ore, Ralph W. Diamond led a � ve-man research team at Trail that developed a new process for ore separation known as differential froth � otation. This unlocked the treasures of the Sullivan and ensured the company’s future.

Explore Our NeighbourhoodsColumbia Heights/West Trail This is the oldest section of town, where most homes have a sweeping view of the Columbia. Houses were first built on small benches to avoid the ever-flooding river. Due to the steep hillsides, the city began building covered staircases in the 1920s. The west hillside is connected by 104 sets of covered stairs. The three longest ones are over 450 ft. Communities in Bloom judges have marked them as the country’s best-kept secret.One reason Trail athletes were always in such good shape, sports coaches had their charges running up and down the stairs. This year, the United Way Trail & District is sponsoring a fundraiser called Storm the Stairs – inviting people to take a run up all 28,000 steps in one day and Waneta Sunrise Rotary is also hosting a stair-climbing event.

Tadanac Situated on the high bank behind the smelter, Tadanac is distinguished by its older heritage-style homes and streets lined with giant silver maples providing a special ambiance. Tadanac (Canada spelled backwards, with a T for Trail) was once its own incorporated community, a little municipality created for the families of the smelter’s managers. Property could not be purchased there without an invitation by the company.

The Gulch A hub of activity: the Gulch became home for the first generations of Italians. And since many men came to Canada ahead of their families, the Kootenay Hotel became the main meal-house. Italian wives helped feed their countrymen with one of the cheapest meals available: spaghetti. Although the hotel burned in the 1970s, the pasta tradition continues to this day. The mural on the side of Gerick’s Cycle depicts the old hotel and its popular bar. Through the years, the Gulch changed. As children grew up and moved to the newer subdivisions, by the 1990s, the Gulch became quite run down. But thanks to innovations by local Italian clubs, Colombo Lodge, Italo Canadese, San Martino Club, and Italico, the Gulch is coming back. The Bocce and Rossland Avenue Park and the beautiful Piazza Colombo were all developed with volunteer labour. The Gulch still maintains a thriving business district.

Colum

bia Heights is connected by covered stairs

Piazza ColomboIn 2006, Colombo members wanted to build something on the empty lot next to the lodge that would signi� cantly contribute to the community. For months, volunteers (with the average age of 74 - dubbed “Can-ada’s oldest construction crew”) dug trenches, poured concrete, built forms, excavated and landscaped, fully equipped with sarcasm and jokes. At one part of the construction, it was noted that an old wall could not be removed as it would mean the bank would cave in. So the workers propped it up with bricks; designing on-the-spot, until they created what is affectionately called the Grotto. The park opened in September 2007 and in 2010, the Colombo was the � rst ever recipient of the national Butchart Gardens Reclamation Award – given to a community or organization that redevelops otherwise ugly landscape for public use.

East Trail, Shaver’s Bench & Miral HeightsAfter the bridge across the Columbia was built in 1912, the town spread to the other side of the river. Homes and a small business district developed, along with parks, schools and the hospital.Scottish immigrants settled in East Trail downriver from the bridge in what became known as “Little Scotland.”Shaver’s Bench developed in Trail’s early years, hence contains some older homes. Across the highway and further up McBride Street, there was once a huge dairy farm. In the 1980s, the farmland was developed into Miral Heights, where elegant homes climb the hillside.

SunningdaleBingay Bay, at the entrance to Sunningdale, is a gentle green slope leading to the river. You’ll often see people � shing there. It’s also a great spot for a picnic. This subdivision was built after the Second World War for veter-ans. But as years went by, the one-time cookie cutter houses have developed into a lovely high-end manicured neighbourhood. Along Hillside Drive is untouched natural � at wilderness, a great place for dogs to run.Apart from two, streets in Sunningdale all have women’s names such as Sylvia, Portia, Diana and Marianna, which are Shakespeare references. GlenmerryDeveloped in the 1950s along the main highway, Glenmerry was once home to a large commercial area with motels and other businesses. After the redevelopment of Highway 3B, a business district remained as the residential section expanded and grew. Parks and green spaces abound in Glenmerry. Glenmerry Residents Association keep the streets clean and are particularly proud of the “riparian” area created by Randall Creek between Glenmerry and East Trail. Most streets in Glenmerry are named for � owers: Dahlia, Iris, Carnation, etc. The farther (down-river) end of Glenmerry is newer and is named for trees: Dogwood, Cottonwood, Rosewood and Woodland. Waneta Trail’s newest residential area was incorporated into the city in 2000. It holds a large commercial district and a residential (strata) community as well as rural properties that stretch along the river.12 TRAIL | 2015 COMMUNITY GUIDE

Explore Downtown


Brian Findlow

Downtown TrailDowntown Trail, the region’s main shopping district offers some unique shops, beautiful � oral displays, interest-ing murals and a great walk along the river. Visitors can � nd out more about the area and Teck by dropping by the Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Centre at 200 – 1199 Bay Avenue (above the TD bank).

Teck Interpretive Centre and Teck ToursCheck out the Teck Interpretive Centre, located within the Trail Visitor Centre. Bet you didn’t know that Teck Resources produced the metal used in the medals handed out to athletes at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, of which the gold and silver was made here at Teck’s Trail Operations. The facility produces 18 metal and chemical products and you’d be amazed that some of these wind up in stuff we use every day, for example: zinc for galvanized steel, lead for use in the lead acid batteries you � nd in your vehicle, zinc and cadmium used in batteries for many of your electronic gadgets and toys, indium for your computer screens and germanium used in � bre optic cables for communication lines.

Teck ToursAn extension of the Interpretive Centre is the free Teck tour, which gives visitors an inside look at what has always been known as one of the largest non-ferrous zinc and lead smelting and re� ning complexes in the world.The Interpretive Centre is open weekdays year round and weekends through July and August. The Teck Tour is available weekdays year round. Participants must be over 12 years of age, and wear � at enclosed walking shoes, slacks and long-sleeved clothing. Sorry, the tour cannot accommodate individuals with pacemakers nor is it wheelchair accessible. The tour begins at 10 a.m. and reservations are recommended. Contact the Trail Visitor Centre at 250-368-3144.

Trail Visitor CentreTrail Visitor Centre offers a wide range of local and provincial visitor services, information, brochures, guides, maps, souvenirs, events and accommodations listings, internet access and clean accessible public washrooms.

Fall coulors brighten the streets

Explore DowntownHistoric Walking TourWalking downtown Trail is a quick and easy way to smell the flowers, learn about our history, shop for local treats or enjoy lunch, either indoors or out. Across from the Best Western Columbia River Hotel, take note of the little statues. One depicts Trail’s iconic bricklayer and the other two pay homage to the town’s focus on sports: a hockey player and a baseball player.Beside the four-lane bridge is the Family Statue Park. The bronze statue depicts a working family and recogniz-es the blue collar, business, and sport ethic of families who built the city. Enjoy the flowers along the Esplanade and walk all the way along the river, through the White Garden to Rotary Park. A shady gazebo will provide you with the history of Trail’s 90-year-old Rotary Club.The old bridge, just beyond the park is worth a look, it being the first bridge to cross the Columbia River. Due to safety, the bridge had to be closed a few years ago and a new pedestrian path across the river is in the works.Back into town, be sure to check out the Historical Plaques on many of the older Trail buildings, admire the handiwork of mural artists and read the names on the Home of Champions Monument in front of Kootenay Savings Credit Union on Farwell Street. From there, jaunt over to Pine and turn right. The Presbyterian Church has a lovely garden to look at. And going back on Pine, you’ll see the giant soldier statue in Veteran’s Square, developed by the local Royal Canadian Legion. Beside it is the city’s one remaining true heritage building, Trail United Church. Across the street at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church is another lovely garden to meditate and rest your feet.Continue back down Eldorado Street. There’s a little roadway behind Shopper’s Drug Mart, affectionately known as Bike Alley. A local merchant took it upon himself to decorate and hang old bikes. There’s quite a few.

Rock WallsWandering around Trail, you will have noticed our penchant for rock walls. This is because many of our early pioneers were bricklayers and they created rock walls to shore up roads and property along the steep banks of West Trail. A few years ago, the Rock Wall Project Entusiastico Society was formed to research and inventory the city’s rock walls. It is estimated that the rock walls were constructed between the early 1920s to the mid-1960s. The society created walking paths so locals and visitors could explore some of these iconic masterpieces. For a map and description of the various hikes, pick up a brochure at the Visitor’s Centre.

Trail Community In BloomSince 2002, Trail has been involved in Communities in Bloom (CiB) which evaluates cities of like size on � oral displays, landscapes, urban forestry, heritage conservation, environmental awareness, and tidiness. We are proud to have won the provincial title (2004) and two national titles (2006 and 2010) for cities under 10,000; and have maintained our � ve-bloom (top of the crowd) status for over a decade.

Ongoing projects:Florals – In 2012, the city won the Floral Award which represents the Best Floral City in Canada (all population categories) within the CiB world. And in 2014, we brought home the Best Landscape Award. Besides hanging baskets and pots throughout downtown, show gardens are created each year. Locations as follows: The Italo/Arrivederci Garden at the top of the Gulch beside Star Grocery. is probably the most beautiful and most photographed garden in town. The Esplanade – between the bridges, a lovely scented walkway. The White Garden – our newest garden (a work in progress) downriver along the Esplanade features all white � owers. Family Park – across from the Trail Memorial Centre at the Victoria Street bridge. Veteran’s Square – beside historic Trail United Church just off Pine Avenue. Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital always has fabulous show beds to welcome patients and visitors. Neighbourhood Gardens at the entry to Sunningdale, Shaver’s Bench, West Trail and Tadanac.

Avenue of the Clans Celebrating Trail’s Scottish heritage, colourful banners, represent the tartans of various Scottish families who pioneered or contributed signi� cantly to the growth and lifestyle of the city. The banners can be seen along the walkway at Gyro Park from the boat launch towards the beach and all the way to Sunningdale.

Tidiness projectsBecause graf� ti attracts more graf� ti and can be a scourge on the landscape, our Graf� ti Grannies have taken up the challenge of eliminating graf� ti as it appears: on rock walls, sidewalks, boulders and rocks at Gyro Park and inside the many covered staircases on Trail’s hillsides. Trail Rotary and Waneta Sunrise Rotary clubs along with the Metis Society have adopted the highway through Trail, keeping it clean throughout summer. And a number of businesses and organizations have adopted staircases, to keep them cleaned up and free of debris.

Murals The city’s history is displayed on the sides of the Trail Memorial Centre plus a number of buildings in downtown Trail.

Trail in Bloom Garden Contest and TourEach year, Trail gardeners compete in a variety of categories for the Best Residential Garden award, sponsored by Teck Metals Ltd. The public is welcome to share in the awards night, an evening of Wine & Cheese, July 8 at the Piazza Colombo. The Garden Tour (July 11) highlights the winners—usually a dozen or more gardens spread all over town. The committee will also sponsor a Garden Lovers Luncheon at Local 480 from noon until 2 pm during the Garden Tour, July 11. Tour maps are available by donation at the Awards night and at Ferraro Foods on the days before the tour. For luncheon tickets and for full contest details, contact Annette Gallatin at 364-1806.

Trail’s IncrEDIBLE Green RoutePick vine-ripened tomatoes as you Explore Our IncrEDIBLE Downtown Trail. Fancy some peppers or fresh basil for your next meal? Take what you need from the many business-sponsored planters that will line the streets of downtown Trail this summer. Inspired by a little town in the UK, Trail takes community gardening to a whole new level. Using clean soil in combination with the best growing climate in the Kootenays, Trail’s EDIBLE landscape will change daily. CAUTION: A walk through Trail’s IncrEDIBLE Green Route could become habit forming!

They are the go-to people for information on anything to do with the history of Trail, the river, and outlying areas. www.trailhistory.com Trail Archives and MuseumThe Archives are situated on the second floor of Trail City Hall, 1394 Pine Ave. It was established in 1978 to collect, preserve and make available the photographic and documentary history of Trail. Currently, the Archives houses over 12,000 historic images, original copies of the Trail Creek News and subsequent Trail Times. Staff are currently completing a monumental job of indexing all the Times negatives from 1968 to 1998. The Archives also has a sizable collection of maps and plans, several collections of local publications and over 11m of textual records. Appointments are recommended. In 2014, Trail ratepayers voted in a referendum to build a new library/museum which will be located at the far end of the Esplanade next to Jubilee Park and the White Garden. Trail Historical Society members are looking forward to having Trail’s historical collection under one (non-leaking) roof. Besides a much-needed new library, the new facility will house the city’s archives and Sports Hall of Memories. The society plans periodic changes in displays and programs so there will always be something new to see.

Italian ArchivesThe Colombo Lodge maintains photos, artifacts and memorabilia of the lodge’s history which includes much of the town’s early Italian families. The Archives room is open by appointment. Call 368-8921.

Home of Champions MonumentIn 1996, a monument was constructed outside Kootenay Savings Credit Union to honour people (past and present) who have excelled in their chosen field: sports, industry and lifestyle. To date, there are 117 names on the monument and the Greater Trail Home of Champions Society is always accepting nominations for more. The designation of “champion” is someone who has made a significant contribution to the communities of Greater Trail or has reached a significant level of achievement in his or her chosen field of endeavour. Each year, a ceremony is held to honour new “champions.”

Celebrating A Legacy of SportsSports Hall of Memories Justly proud of its self-proclaimed Home of Champions moniker and local youth programs, Greater Trail’s dedicated coaches have consistently produced a stream of provincial, national and world champions over the years. Trail is the only B.C. community to host the BC Summer and Winter Games, the BC Disabled Games and the BC Seniors Games in addition to a variety of international hockey games and Canadian Little League Championships. As national and international championship winners, the passion for sports and a healthy lifestyle caught the attention of Vancouver’s The Province newspaper, which named Trail B.C.’s Number One Sports Town in 2005. And it will all be showcased in the Sports Hall of Memories, located inside the Trail Memorial Centre.

Trail Smoke EatersTo this day, there are few places you can go in the world that haven’t heard about the famous Trail Smoke Eaters. The Trail Hockey Club first played in the West Kootenay League in the 1923-24 season, winning the league and provincial championship under this name in 1927. The name changed after that to the Trail Smoke Eaters, and they won six more consecutive provincial titles.Their first Allan Cup came in 1938 and they won a trip to the 1939 World Championship, which they won. Their second world championship came in 1961. They were the last independent ice hockey club to represent Canada in international competition before the Canada men’s nation ice hockey team was established in 1963. And they won another Allan Cup in 1962.They folded in 1987, due to the sharp drop in senior hockey popularity. Their colours are now carried by the junior team of the same name that plays in the BCHL.

Trail Memorial CentreBesides the Trail & District Public Library and Sports Hall of Memories, this major complex contains three ice rinks: the 2,537-seat Cominco Arena where the legends of the Trail Smoke Eaters still linger in our BCHL team; plus a kid’s rink for Minor Hockey and an eight-sheet Curling Rink—the largest in the West Kootenay. The Cominco Gym is used for a variety of recreation activities such as basketball, badminton, fitness classes, martial arts, banquets, concerts and meetings. It has a stadium seating capacity of 1,000 and banquet facilities for up to 500. The McIntyre and Red Floor Rooms are ideal for dance classes, meetings, and socials. Upstairs there is a racquetball and squash court for drop-ins. The arena is also a great place for out-of-the-weather walking. It’s open daily year-round and is free. Closed to walkers during events. For all programs and rentals, contact Trail Parks & Rec at 368-6484. Willi Krause FieldhouseThis state-of-the-art indoor sports complex has a specialized rubber floor making the facility conducive for track and field, volleyball, badminton, tennis, basketball, softball, baseball, floor hockey, soccer and golf. It is connected to the J.L. Crowe Secondary School. The facility is named for Willi Krause who coached many Greater Trail track and field athletes to national and international prominence.

Butler ParkSurrounded by grassy fields, with night lights, Butler is the ideal place to watch the boys of summer play. Butler has a full-size 1,000-seat grandstand with capacity for an additional 3,000 bleachers. The facility hosted the 1995 Senior Babe Ruth World Series and the 2010 Western Canadian Senior Baseball championships. It is home to the 2008 B.C. Men’s Senior Championship team, the AM Ford Orioles; and the Trail Jays and Trail Phillies of the American Legion League. Situated beyond the ball field is the Trail Aquatic and Leisure Centre which also has a racquet sport facility for tennis and pickleball.

Trail Aquatic and Leisure Centre Trail’s premier year-round facility has an eight-lane pool plus a kid’s pool, hot tubs, water slide, steam rooms, fitness centre and meeting rooms. Call 368-6484 for all aquatic programs or rentals.

Andy Bilesky ParkThis park is situated high above Glenmerry. Access is via Laburnum Drive. The park is set up for Little League and has two baseball fields, washrooms, covered concession building and bleacher seating. It is named for the iconic coach who took five teams to represent Canada at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Penn. Call 368-6484 for bookings. West Trail Park Bocce Lanes and clubhouse were established in the 1980s as a joint project by the Colombo Lodge, the Italian community and City of Trail Parks Commission. The bocce lanes are covered and lighted for night games. Trail Italico Recreation Society runs several programs geared towards groups, people with special needs, seniors and families. The facility is open for public use and can be booked through Trail Parks & Recre-ation. Haley ParkIt may look like it’s in Warfield, but Haley actually belongs to Trail. It features three softball diamonds and a rubberized track for track and field events. A concession operates during games and special events, such as the schools’ sports day, the Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and Movie Night in the Park.

Trail Horseman’s Grounds Seven kilometres south of Trail on Hwy. 22A, the Horseman’s Grounds are situated across from the Trail Regional Airport in Area A (south of Waneta) and is home to equestrian sports of all kinds. It is run by the Trail Horsemen’s Society; contact Samantha Levick, 367-9720.

Explore Our MuralsAcross the street from the Victoria parking lot (next to Lordco) is the Bowery Mural on the side of the Balfour building. The mural depicts the way the town looked a century ago. It also depicts the old Trail Creek News building during one of the early � oods.

The Hockey Mural on the side of the Trail Memorial Centre pays homage to Trail’s hockey legacy. The 1961 world champion Smoke Eaters are on the right, and the mural on the left depicts Minor Hockey which was started in Trail in 1957.

River Reconnect is the mural on the other side of the Trail Memorial Centre, facing the river. It goes back to the river’s earliest days, noting the native woman and the compass of the � rst explorer, David Thompson. The hands holding the baby � sh indicate the attempt to restock the river with salmon for future generations. And the maple leaf morphing into the eagle’s wing represents the close relationship between Canada and the U.S., who both share the waterway.

The Riverbelle on the Esplanade features the Flood Mural, depicting the 1948 � ood and sandbagging efforts. The ticket booth at the local theatre was a good indicator of how high the water rose. If you view this mural from a distance, you’ll notice it is actually in two parts, showing ominous clouds approaching from up the river.

The LeRoi mine and smelter is depicted on the side of the Coldwell Banker building on Bay Avenue. Yes, it’s dark, but it pays homage to the early miners and smelter workers who built the industry that built our town.

On Eldorado Street and the side of Shopper’s Drug Mart is the paddle wheeler SS Rossland which plied the busy river in the early 1900s, ferrying ore, cargo and passengers.

At the base of the Gulch on the side of Gerick’s Cycle is the Kootenay Hotel Mural. The hotel was a landmark in Trail and � rst to provide the town’s traditional spaghetti dinners. The “postcard” on the side depicts the old bar. The hotel burned to the ground June 27, 1978.

There are also a couple of murals in East Trail: the Wolf Den’s Tattoo Parlour on the corner of Bailey and Second has an amazing three-dimensional look; and one block up, the bridge Mural on the corner of Second and Robertson depicts the old bridge appearing in the untamed wilderness

In Fruitvale, there’s an awesome mural on the side of the Liberty Food Store and another on Fruitvale Elementary School.

Explore Our NeighboursFruitvale Lush vegetation, hobby farms, babbling brooks and large open valleys—Fruitvale is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. It’s a great place to raise children, horses, grapes – just about anything. Originally a stop for the Great Northern Railway, Fruitvale is a 15.8 km drive through scenic countryside from Trail. The village’s hardworking Community in Bloom volunteers do a fabulous job providing � oral displays in summer and holiday lighting in winter, garnering the provincial CiB title for a village its size in 2012.Fruitvale is a full service community. Hugging Beaver Creek is the lovely Green Gym Creekside Community Park. Haines Park contains a huge softball complex and Mazzochi Park supports soccer. All are great places for a walk and picnic.The Beaver Valley Arena and separate Curling Rink are active spots for winter sports. The KIJHL team, Beaver Valley Nitehawks, are the valley’s home team with frequent games at the arena. The modern and well-equipped Fruitvale Memorial Hall is a community centre for banquets, weddings, and meetings. The basement of the hall also houses Beaver Valley Lanes for � ve-pin bowling.A highlight of rural living is the annual May Day festival (May 22 - 24). Valley people really capture the outdoor lifestyle and are big on hunting, hiking and horsemanship. For an interesting drive through the valley, take Columbia Gardens road off Hwy 22A across from Beaver Creek Provincial Park.

Montrose and Beaver FallsMontrose is a small bedroom community between Trail and Fruitvale. Beaver Falls is between Montrose and Fruitvale. Named after a popular Scottish community, Montrose is known for its unique vantage overlooking the Columbia River valley. Montrose Park features a ball � eld, playground, spray park and memorial gardens. There is outside access to the hall’s washrooms for park users in summer. Viewmont Park has a playground and basketball court; and there’s another playground at Frontier Park. A major feature for hikers is the Antenna Trail which meanders up behind the village for a panoramic view of the Columbia River. Access is located at 4th Street and 12th Avenue.

Village of War� eldWar� eld was mapped out and the � rst houses in Upper War� eld constructed in 1938. Due to the shapes and colours of the homes, it was nicknamed “Mickey Mouse Town.” War� eld was named after Carlo War� eld, the private secretary of smelter founder, F.A. Heinze. It was incorporated as a village in 1952.In more recent years, the newer development of Emerald Ridge in Upper War� eld offers high-end homes and lots with breathtaking views of the Columbia River Valley. The village has a small business district; an elementary school, and six great parks linked by a network of trails and walking routes.The Village Square and Community Hall are centers of activity; and in the summer, families enjoy the outdoor War� eld Centennial Pool, waterslide and spray park.

AnnableNot far along the wagon-trail between the Gulch and War� eld is a little community known as Annable (pronounced ’Anna-bell’). Although closer to Trail, it is part of the Village of War� eld. In the early days, large tracts of land between Trail and Rossland were inhabited with dairy farms; and a lumber mill was developed by George Malcolm Annable. As the farmers left, a residential area and small business district grew. Today, a few businesses still exist there. Note the old tunnel where the highway used to � ow.A fun meandering drive from Upper Annable (turn on Wellington Street by the Ray Lyn Motel) will take you along Trail Creek to a lovely quiet neighbourhood known to locals as Skunk Hollow. Followed across a little bridge and up the hill, it comes out at Lower War� eld.

8137 Old Waneta Rd, Trail BC

Explore Our RegionArea AArea A takes in the entire region from the Columbia River to Champion Lakes including the Columbia Gardens Industrial site. Waneta Dam and the beautiful Pend d’Oreille valley. Trail Regional airport, just a few minutes from Trail, is in Area A. A great stop is Kiwanis Park where Beaver Creek enters the Columbia River—a great place to fish for rainbow trout. If travelling Highway 3B beyond Fruitvale, drive all the way up to Champion Lakes Provincial Park—a great place to swim, picnic, canoe or kayak. The trio of lakes is about 10 km off Highway 3B. There are no power boats allowed on the lake but canoes and kayaks are OK. Trail Regional AirportThe City of Trail took over the airport in February 2014. The airport currently serves over 20,000 passengers per year. The asphalt runway is 4000 ft. by 75 ft. non-instrument, and there is a small terminal building, short-term and long-term parking and aircraft fueling stations. Pacific Coastal Airlines provides service between Trail and Vancouver and Trail and Kelowna. With the new acquisition, the city hired an airport manager and has commenced with infrastructure and operational improvements.


Area BCasino Casino is a hobby-farm community down-river river from Trail in Area B, which holds also the 2,200 acre Fort Shepherd Land Conservancy and Casino Gun Range for outdoor enthusiasts. Both are managed by Trail Wildlife Association. It should be noted that mud-bogging is prohibited at the Land Conservancy or any other Crown land. Heading up river, you’ll find some of the hottest recreation opportunities: golfing, skiing, lakes, parks and creeks.

Rivervale and OasisStretching from the west side of the Columbia River to the hills above Rossland, Area B encompasses the small communities of Genelle, Oasis and Rivervale. Oasis is a small residential area that used to sit alongside Hwy 22 but since reconstruction years ago, homes are secluded and enjoy peace and quiet above the busy thoroughfare. There is a park for children, and the Oasis Hall, a community centre. Oasis stretches up to a plateau high above the river and is home to a number of large properties and hobby farms.

GenelleGenelle is definitely the place to be for dark-sky enthusiasts. Twice, residents voted against the installation of street lights in all but a couple ofintersections. They prefer to view the night sky in all its glory, unimpeded by artificial light. Genelle has good access to the Columbia River for boats and has a popular spot for fishing and camping along its banks.

Explore Our Parks The City of Trail maintains 54 parks and green spaces, totaling 104 acres and every neighbourhood and surrounding community has its own park, most with playground equipment for children. Gyro ParkJust a 10-minute walk from downtown, Gyro is the city’s premier park. It’s also the busiest, but there’s plenty of room for everybody. Acres of inviting lawns spread wide and far under aged shady trees providing a great place for a picnic. Or enjoy the beach; cool off in the Columbia or sunbath on one of the river rocks.You can launch a boat at the marina (far entrance to the park beside the river). It’s also a great place to fi sh.The park stretches all along the river to Bingay Bay in Sunningdale. There are also a number of little “bump-out” patios to sit and view the river.The covered concession is open daily in summer. Don’t miss Music in the Park, a weekly concert with avariety of entertainers. It’s every Thursday at 7 p.m. from mid-June to the end of August.

Rotary Park Along Riverside Avenue from downtown Trail, this area was taken over by Trail Rotary when older homes along the river were torn down. The park has benches to sit and watch the river fl ow by, plus a shady gazebo. There is also a Japanese lantern (a gift from the city’s sister city, Sagamihara, Japan). As well, there’s directional signage indicating the way to Sagamihara and also to Bocchiglierro, Italy, Trail’s other sister city.

White Garden There is something about seeing a garden all dressed in white that will take your breath away. The garden is still quite young: a work-in-progress, it hopes to emulate the Sissinghurst White Garden in Kent, England, and will eventually be home to 180 species of plants, shrubs and trees that will show off or bloom white during all seasons of the year. A fl ower-enhanced gazebo is the perfect setting for a wedding beside the river. The White Garden is fi rst of its kind in B.C.

Beaver Creek Provincial Park (Kiwanis Park)Run by the local Kiwanis Club, this park is seven kilometres south of Trail on Hwy. 22 where Beaver Creek enters the Columbia. It offers everything for outdoor enthusiasts: camping, canoeing, fi shing and hiking. There’s a covered picnic area and soccer fi eld. The region celebrates Canada Day here each year and the facility is available for private functions.

Buckley CampgroundIn Area A, operated by BC Hydro, the campground is on the Pend d’Oreille reservoir behind the Seven Mile Dam (take the road past the Trail Regional Airport). There are picnic tables, a day-use area, boat launch, about 22 campsites and outdoor toilets. No hook-ups available. Seasonal openings. Reservations are not allowed – fi rst come, fi rst served. www.bchydro.com/recreation

Beaver Valley Family ParkIf travelling Highway 3, beyond Fruitvale, there’s a great camping and picnic grounds at Beaver Valley Family Park.

Champion Lakes Provincial ParkThis trio of lakes is situated about 10 km. off Hwy 3B east of Fruitvale. It’s a great place to swim, fi sh, picnic, canoe or kayak. There are no power boats allowed on the lake.

Birchbank Picnic GroundsLocated in Area B just past Birchbank Golf Course, this huge picnic area is popular for large events. Contains a full-service kitchen, large barbecues, bocce greens and horseshoe pits as well as playground equipment for children. Book through Trail and District Chamber of Commerce.

Explore Our Great OutdoorsFor the Outdoor EnthusiastGreater Trail has tremendous opportunities for the adventurer. The area offers a wide variety of geography, from the valley’s bottom to surrounding bench lands and up into the mountains. Golf courses have resulted in the area becoming a popular destination for golfers. There are lots of places to swim, boat or just laze around.An experienced angler won’t soon forget the many fishing spots. Whether it’s standing waist-deep fishing in a small stream, boating on a lake or casting from the banks of the Columbia.Endless days of hiking, camping or mountain biking will take you away from it all and give you the best opportunity to view nature at its finest.In winter, Greater Trail offers a wonderland for those passionate about the diversity of snow. Snowmobile enthusiasts get endless enjoyment from the five-month season, traveling groomed trails while experiencing the fresh air and outstanding scenery.Red Mountain comes alive at the first snowfall and the season usually extends well into spring at the higher elevations. Red offers some of the best alpine skiing and snowboarding in British Columbia. Cross-country ski trails wind through pine forests and across the flats for miles. Locals use Black Jack and Nancy Greene Lake (Provincial Park).

Where can I launch a boat? •Columbia River - Indian Eddy boat launch which is at the down-river end of Gyro Park. •Genelle—on Hwy 22, take the road into Lower Genelle (the third exit if coming from Trail); head towards the river. The boat launch is by the trailer park on 17th Avenue across from Howe Street. •Beaver Creek Provincial Park (Kiwanis) off Hwy 22A. Exit to the park is just at the little bridge. •Champion Lakes, no power boats allowed; canoes and kayaking only. •Pend d’Oreille Recreation Area—from Hwy 22A just past the Trail Regional Airport, take the road to Seven Mile Dam. It’s about 12 km. Beyond the dam is the Pend d’Oreille Reservoir with boat and picnic access.

Where can I walk a dog?In Trail, dogs are allowed most places as long as they are under control of a competent person. Downtown and in the parks, dogs must be on a leash. And please remember to clean up after your pet, even in wilderness areas. There are some great open places for pooches: •Not IN Gyro Park, but dogs are allowed to run free along the riverbank between the boat launch and the bridge. •Sandpit Road, at the far end of Sunningdale, access from Marianna Crescent. The gate is open between 7 am and 8 pm for vehicles. City property, the gate is locked at night. •Hanna Creek Road (locally known as Thunder Road), access is across from the Teck gate on Bingay Road between Trail (Hwy 22) and Warfield, behind the truck stop area. •The old rail bed between Rossland and Trail, access from Shutek Drive, on the right side of the Warfield Hall, past the little park and behind the public works buildings. •Highway 22A, just south of Beaver Creek Park (Kiwanis Park) past the little bridge before the Trail Regional Airport, there is a parking area on the river-side of the road for dog walkers. Dogs can be walked on leash along the river between the park and the airport.

Where to GolfChampion Lakes Golf CourseThe 18-hole Champion Lakes Golf Course is located off Highway 3B just outside Fruitvale. The course was designed by Boyd Barr for all levels. The idyllic settings provide long fairways, several water hazards (three lovely ponds – miniatures of the three Champion Lakes) and tactically placed sand traps. To book a tee time call 367-7001.

BirchbankWith spectacular views of the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains, this 18-hole course is a fully mature tree-lined classic. Known for sprawling manicured greens and contoured fairways, Birchbank is a great walkers course just minutes from Trail on Hwy. 22 towards Castlegar, along the banks of the Columbia. Book a tee time at 693-5451.

RedstoneThis Les Furber Signature 18-hole course combines superb scenery, interesting layouts, elevation changes and the fun of watching a drive that normally travels 230 yards go to 260. In the spring, play golf in the afternoon while enjoying the backdrop of snow-capped peaks. In summer, it’s long warm days and in fall, the fairways are lined with a feast of colour. Redstone is off Highway 3B between Warfield and Rossland. Book a tee time at www.redstoneresort.com

Explore Our Great OutdoorsFishing guidePick up a fishing license at the B.C. Access Centre, 1050 Eldorado St., grab your equipment and head to one of these spots. Be sure to check regulations.

Columbia RiverThe river offers one of the hottest rainbow trout fisheries in the world. There are many places for fly fishing or casting from shore, all within 10 minutes of downtown Trail. Besides rainbows, you can fish for ling cod, burbot, whitefish or walleye. In 2004, a world record Rainbow Trout caught in the Columbia weighed 23.06 lbs. Use fly fishing bait and spin casting for Rainbow and brook trout up to 4 lb. Watch for closures from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31. Fishing for sturgeon is prohibited, so if you accidentally catch one, be sure to release it.Bingay Bay at the entrance to Sunningdale (dry fly or float tube); or the marina/boat launch at Gyro Park.The mouth of China Creek in Genelle, take the road into Lower Genelle (third exit if coming from Trail.)The mouth of Murphy Creek in Rivervale. Take the exit off Hwy 22 into Rivervale.Some say the best spot to river fish is at Birchbank – take Birchbank Station Road off Hwy 22 just past the Birchbank Golf Course. There’s plenty of parking and almost 5 km. of back eddies.Beaver Creek Provincial Park (Kiwanis Park) just off Hwy 22A (before the airport) has good fishing at the boat launch.

Erie LakePast Fruitvale, towards Salmo, the lake is situated right beside on Hwy 22. Locals favour this lake for eastern brook trout, yellow perch, bass, rainbow and sunfish. It’s a good lake for kids and you can take all the sunfish and yellow perch you want.

Big Sheep Creek, off the old Cascade Highway west of Rossland, the creek offers good brook trout of about 1 lb. When fishing the larger pools, natural bait or fly is preferred. Fishing is closed from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31.

Champion Lakes is a trio of lakes 20 km northeast of Trail, 10 km from Hwy 3B outside Fruitvale. Due to the campground and public beach area, fishing is marginal in the third lake, which is the first lake you come to from the parking lot. Fishing in the second lake is better, with Rainbows up to 3 lb. The first lake (last one) is only accessible by trail, hence is the best fishing of the three lakes. The best spot is near the south end using a fly. No powerboats allowed on any of the lakes. Canoes, kayaks, car top boats and float tubes allowed.

Pend d’Oreille LakeThe reservoir behind Seven-Mile Dam (take the road from Hwy 22A just past Trail Regional Airport.) Fishing is great for small-mouth bass, northern pike and other species found in the Columbia.

Ice fishingThere are a number of small lakes in the region where ice fishing is popular during the cold months. Erie Lake is most popular as it has lots of fish. Cottonwood Lake by Whitewater is also popular, as is Rosebud Lake just past Fruitvale. At Champion, ice fishing is allowed on the third lake. Some restrictions are on the first and second lake.
