The Slocan River is a 60-kilometre (37 mi) long[1] tributary of the Kootenay River in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It is part of the Columbia River basin, as the Kootenay River is a tributary of the Columbia River. Its drainage basin is 3,290 square kilometres (1,270 sq mi) in area.[1]
Course
[edit | edit source]The Slocan River originates at the south end of Slocan Lake[3] and flows south past Slocan and Winlaw to join the Kootenay River near Shoreacres, about halfway between Castlegar and Nelson. The route includes a mixture of broad flatwater, lazy meanders, gentle flows and, on the lowest section, a few rapids.
