Garland Bay

Garland Bay is a large open beach recreation site on the east shore of Kootenay Lake, located north of the community of Riondel in British Columbia.

Situated next to Bernard Creek in a sheltered bay, the site is a popular destination for swimming, camping, fishing, and boating, and sees heavy use throughout the summer season. The site includes a well-developed wharf and a boat launch.

Access from Riondel follows Eastman Avenue to Tam O'Shanter Creek, then the Kootenay Lake East forest service road for 9 km to the Bernard forest service road junction, with a left fork leading 4 km to the site.

The road is suitable for two-wheel-drive vehicles.
