Places to Cool Off
Swimming holes are hard to come by in Golden- here’s the inside scoop.
Ok, the water is cold, but the land is flat, the braided rivers are awesome and the views are a+.
We go out the Bush Road (B-Road), as for as 42km, but you can happily stop at the rec site at 2km.
Some people go to 5-7km on the Kinbasket Resot side and it’s also awesome!

Start in Nicholson, take out at the airport in Golden. There are places in town to rent SUPs. It’s a 2-3 hour adventure.

Hey, it’s the best! Ok, it’s pretty rustic, but the vibe is great and the skiing is second to none.
