The SS Moyie is Kaslo's essential sight: a 1898 sternwheeler restored on the lakeshore after decades of work by the Kootenay Lake Historical Society. It once carried passengers and freight through a region where the lake was the main highway.
Inside, the boat feels more personal than a large museum. You can read the cabins, decks, and machinery as a compact history of the Kootenays' mining and steamboat years.
