The
49,600 hectare Valhalla Provincial Park is diverse and stunning, filled
with steep valleys, glacial lakes and forests of western red cedar,
western hemlock, larch, grand fir, lodgepole pine, birch, poplar and
alder.
The park
area encompasses the western shores of Slocan Lake and most of the Valhalla
Range of the Selkirk Mountains. Animal life is abundant and includes
species such as mountain goat, grizzly bear, cougar, caribou and many
other smaller mammals. Kokanee, mountain whitefish, Dolly Varden, rainbow
and cutthroat trout are resident in Slocan Lake. Here on the shores
of the lake ancient pictographs from long ago inhabitants of the area
can be seen.
