How To Get Here
Here is some information to help you with your tour planning at Ice Creek Lodge.
Our office is in the little lake town of Slocan, BC. Slocan is 50-minute drive north of Nelson. We meet at our office early morning prior to your trip departure.
Nelson, BC, is a 3 ½-hour drive north of Spokane Washington, is a 4 ½ drive southeast of Kelowna, BC, a 3-hour drive southwest of Cranbrook, BC, a 7-hour drive southwest of Calgary, Alberta, and an 8-hour drive northeast of Vancouver, BC. *All drive times are contingent on weather conditions.
We recommend flying to Spokane, Kelowna, or Cranbrook and taking a shuttle or renting a car. Car rentals can be limited so be sure to pre-book a 4WD and request winter tires! Due to weather cancellations during the winter months, we don’t advise flying into Castlegar.
