I've mentioned that we can hear these falls across the lake - must be at least a mile or more away. We had a pleasant canoe for a couple of hours last week when it was so hot. Half an hour gets you across the lake where Powder Creek enters Kootenay Lake. It's a short walk up to the falls from the beach. At this time of the year, with all the snowmelt coming down, they're really thundering. As an added bonus, there's a pleasant place to camp near the lake and a small gravel/sandy beach.
This time, we continued up past the falls and found an old logging road. Given that this is BC, I guess I shouldn't have been very surprised (old and new logging roads seem to be everywhere). We hiked up that for awhile (only a few minutes, really) and came to the active logging road that runs along much of the east side of Kootenay Lake. I was interested to find that road because it's the main access to any peaks on the east side of the lake such as Mt Loki that I want to explore. Maybe in a couple of weeks.
