Boswell is a small community residing on the east shore of Kootenay Lake between Crawford Bay and Creston. Kootenay Lake is one of the largest lakes in the region at 120 km (90 mi) long. As such, it attracts many locals and visitors to enjoy the warm waters. Fishing for trout, spending relaxing days kayaking to some of the many secluded bays along the shore, going for a dip in the clear waters are just a few ways to enjoy lazy days on the lake. Sandy beaches, nature walks, alpine meadows and hiking in the mountains are all easily accessible. 

Included in this community is Destiny Bay, this locale offers stunning views across the lake to the Selkirk Mountains, and opportunities to paddle, canoe and relax.

This area is home to a variety of birds and wildlife – drivers must look out for wild turkeys and deer on the road.
