We went for a short hike Friday in Syringa Provincial Park just up the Columbia River from Castlegar. The park is on a part of the River called Lower Arrow Lake, said lake formed by the Keenlyside Dam. There are 14 dams on the river, this dam being the smallest of the lot and one of three on this river in Canada. You might be interested to know that the 14 dams generate a total of about 24000 MW of electricity. Not much wild river left here.
Castlegar is where the Kootenay River (coming from Kootenay Lake) empties into the Columbia River.
