Moyie

The Moyie paddle steamer spans 160 feet in length and features original wooden decking, steam engines, and passenger compartments from its operating period.

The vessel operated continuously on Kootenay Lake from 1898 until 1957, transporting passengers and cargo between railway terminals during British Columbia's mining era.

The preserved vessel displays the dining saloon, smoking lounge, and overnight cabins that served generations of travelers across Kootenay Lake.

Visitors can access guided tours of the restored paddle steamer throughout summer months, with interpretive displays explaining maritime transportation methods.

The Moyie maintains its position as the oldest intact passenger sternwheeler remaining in North America, sitting on a concrete berth at Front Street.
