Cabins near Grand Forks guide

Overview

Surrounded by the desert-like hills of British Columbia’s Boundary region, small Grand Forks sits along Highway 3 at the confluence of the Kettle and Granby rivers. Many Doukhobors, a pacifist religious group with roots in Russia, settled here in the early 1900s, and you can visit the town’s Boundary Museum to learn about this heritage. For hikers and cyclists, sections of the Great Trail—the cross-Canada multi-use pathway—run through the region, including the nearly 650-kilometre (400-mile) Kettle Valley Rail Trail. For campers, Grand Forks has a municipal campground and nearby provincial parks with camping areas.
