Silverton, British Columbia

Silverton, population about 250, is BC’s smallest municipality. It sits on the shores of Slocan Lake just 5kms (3 miles) or a short bike ride south of New Denver. Like most other Slocan Valley towns, Silverton started as a silver mining community in the early 1890’s. Many old buildings survive and are still use, and the village has done a great job of restoring and beautifying its buildings.
