DURING TIMES OF DIMINISHED AIR QUALITY.
Occasionally, wildfire smoke can make it difficult to recreate in Revelstoke and can impede our stunning mountain views. If you're in Revelstoke during a smoky period, there are still plenty of fun indoor and gentle activities you can do!
Museums.
Travel back in time and learn about Revelstoke's industrial past. The railway and forestry industry shaped Revelstoke. Find out more at the Railway Museum, the BC Interior Forestry Museum and Forest Discovery Centre, and the Revelstoke Hydro Dam Visitor Centre.
Learn about the homelands of the Sinixt, as well as the Secwépemc, Ktunaxa, and the Syilx who visit the land known today as Revelstoke, at the Revelstoke Museum and Archives.
Drinks.
Revelstoke’s got you covered with two breweries, a distillery, and top-notch coffee spots. Check out Mt. Begbie Brewing to escape the smoke and enjoy a flight in their cozy tasting room. For something more low-key, head to Rumpus Beer Co., where the menu is always changing to match what locals are loving.
Nearby, you'll find Monashee Spirits Distillery, home to an insane amount of spirits (the largest spirit and whisky collection in BC, in fact). Grab a carefully curated cocktail and enjoy people-watching from their downtown street window.
Indoor Activities.
There are many things to try inside in Revelstoke. Book a yoga class, or go for a swim and sauna at the aquatic centre. Test your skills at the Revelstoke Escape Rooms or try our latest indoor activity, bouldering at Quartzite Climbing Gym.
Drivable Experiences.
Head to the outskirts of town for a scenic drive to local attractions. By heading south, you can experience the ferry ride across the Arrow Lakes and land at Halcyon Hot Springs. Alternatively, head west and climb through the high ropes activities at Sky Trek Adventure Park, explore the magical Enchanted Forest, or visit the Ghost Town at Three Valley Gap.
For a scenic drive, head to Highway 23 North and go on a tour of the Revelstoke Dam. Continue down the highway to surround yourself with mountains, glaciers, and forests and watch the sunset over Lake Revelstoke.

Art Experiences.
Brighten a gloomy day by visiting the exciting displays at our art galleries. The Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre has new exhibitions every month and hosts many workshops. In the heart of downtown, you can visit Art First; an independent art gallery showcasing local art. Meander the alleyways of Revelstoke you’ll find public art displays or ‘Art Alleries’ as we call them.
Water Activities.
If it's smoky, it's probably hot. Cool off at some of our local swimming spots or if the smoke lifts, try a gentle paddle adventure. We recommend whitewater rafting or going for a SUP on Lake Revelstoke.
