About Brisco / Spillimacheen

Many small and medium sized farms define the landscape of this area. There are a couple old-fashioned country stores, little churches and a community hall along the side of the road to add nostalgic character. If you have time to travel the West-side Road between these two communities you'll be sure to see something special. Turn off and cross the Columbia River bridge near BeeLand which is the old Spillimacheen Store and you'll come out at the Brisco Sawmill which is now Brisco Wood Preservers. If you get lost, enjoy the adventure. There are backroads to the Bugaboos, old mines, lakes, creeks, canyons, rivers and more. You might even find yourself coming out in Parson, Radium or even Invermere.
