In a pleasant setting on the west edge of town,
Pinegrove Motel
(2091 Central Ave., 250/
442-8203, $85 s, $95 d) offers basic rooms. Campers gravitate to the riverside
municipal
campground
(mid-May-mid-Oct., $17-24) at the end of 5th Street. Showers and hookups
are offered.
At first glance,
Omega II Restaurant
(7400 Hwy. 3, 250/442-3124, 8am-9pm daily,
$12-24), on the east side of town, looks no different from any other small-town restaurant,
but on closer inspection you'll see the roots of Grand Forks show themselves with Russian
dishes such as borscht and
galooptsi
(meat-filled cabbage rolls). Try a little of everything
by ordering a platter of Russian specialties.
The streets of downtown Rossland are lined with restored buildings from the Gold Rush Era.
This 19-kilometer-long (12-mile-long) lake, 25 kilometers (16 miles) east of Grand Forks
along Highway 3, is a summer favorite for folks from throughout the West Kootenays, who
come for the lake's warm waters and fishing for rainbow trout, bass, and kokanee.
