Lumby
British Columbia, Canada
The friendly community of Lumby, BC, is located at the north
end of the beautiful Okanagan Valley just a short drive (25
km/16 mi.) east of the community of Vernon
.
With
its small town congeniality, this is the perfect place to get
away from it all. The forest product industry welcomes visitors
to tour its lumber mills and events such as Lumby Days and Snow
Fest are fun to attend. Pan for gold, go camping and hiking
or arrange to tour the old mining digs in nearby Cherryville.
Considered
the 'Gateway to the Monashees', Lumby is situated at the convergence
of the Coldstream, Creighton and Trinity valleys. The Monashee
Mountain (Mountains of Peace) offer unlimited outdoor
recreation. Shimmering lakes nestle in the mountains and streams
and rivers flow to the valleys. The area around Lumby is one
of British Columbia's undiscovered gems! The waters are ideal
for fishing and canoeing. And the Monshee's offer spectacular
wilderness hiking, biking and cross country skiing.
Lumby
is easy to access, located right on the scenic BC Highway #6
that crosses the Monashee Mountains and connects the vacation
playgrounds of the Okanagan and the Kootenays. So, whether you
are heading north or south through Lumby, make a point of stopping
and staying for awhile. The community of Lumby, British Columbia
looks forward to hosting your next vacation!
