🚧 Ferry Service Update – Plan Ahead! ⛴️If you're planning to drive the full International Selkirk Loop this June, please note an important ferry update on the Kootenay Lake crossing in British Columbia.The Osprey 2000 Ferry, which usually travels between Balfour and Kootenay Bay, will be out of service for a scheduled spring refit from June 3–19, 2025. During this time, the MV Balfour, a smaller ferry with reduced deck space, will be running on the winter schedule.We recommend checking the current ferry schedule in advance and allowing for possible delays if you're traveling during this period. It’s all part of the adventure—just with a little extra planning! 🗺️For details, visit Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism's website or search “Kootenay Lake Ferry Schedule” online.📸 @adrianwagnerstudio#SelkirkLoop #KootenayLakeFerry #ExploreBC #InternationalSelkirkLoop #RoadTripReady ...
