Trail, BC is located in the beautiful West Kootenay region of the southern BC interior. Nestled between the Monashee and Selkirk Mountains, Trail sits on the banks of the mighty Columbia River. The Trail Visitor Centre operates from the Trail Riverfront Centre in the heart of downtown Trail, sharing space with the Trail Museum & Archives and the Trail & District Public Library. Current COVID measures include a 10-person limit in the building at one time and 4-6 people in museum galleries. Feel free to contact staff in advance for any questions you may have. Patrons will also be required to sanitize hands upon entry. While masks are not required, they are encouraged!

The Riverfront Center houses the Trail Museum the Trail Public Library, and the Trail Visitor Center. As of June 2018, the "Centre" is brand new. The Museum, per se, on the second floor is very professionally done, and is quite interesting. Parking is on the street at parking meters. You may also wish to visit the Teck Interpretive Centre, perhaps 3 blocks away on the same street. The Teck Interpretive Centre contains interesting exhibits on the Trail Smelter (the city's major employer). It is also possible to arrange for free tours of the smelter.

Did not expect such an extensive path/walkway along the Columbia River in Trail. In addition to the highway bridge, there’s a pedestrian bridge that connects the both sides of the walkway across the river. To the north from the highway, the pathway leads to a new skate park and large picnic/playground area near Gyro Beach. Many folks were out early morning and evening enjoying the pathway.

We stayed here while our husbands participated in the Red Ski Resort Adventure Rally. It is a great campground on the water (up a hill but still very easy water access). It is generally designed for midsize trailers. Tents are fine but only one set of out houses - a bit of a walk depending on your site. Showers are at the start of the campground but there is parking. They have a boat launch on site for the river. The park is away from the campsites if you have children you are hoping to watch play. Compared to Trail Ci ty Campground Ans Rossland City Campground this is the best. The showers are free. No services at the site. Call to reserve if you have over a 24 foot trailer as not every site is large.
