Boat launches closed at north end of Kalamalka Lake

COLDSTREAM – Due to high water levels, the District of Coldstream is closing all boat launches at the north end of Kalamalka Lake until further notice. 

The District thanks the public in advance for their understanding.

The high water levels also impact lakeside residents who are at risk of flooding. 

Boaters, wakeboarders and personal watercraft users can help minimize the risk by ensuring they are reducing speed near shore so as to prevent waves from damaging property.

Transport Canada advises that anyone operating a power-driven boat in B.C. must adhere to a speed limit of 10 kilometres per hour within 30 metres of shore.
