The Labarthe Tunnel dates back to the early days of the Columbia & Western Railway. When the Arrow Lakes were flooded during the construction of the Keenleyside Dam, a portion of the railway had to be rebuilt upslope. The Labarthe Tunnel was on one of the portions cut off during the rebuild.
Depending on the level of the reservoir the Labarthe Tunnel can be submerged, partially submerged or completely dry! For a kayak adventure, obviously partially submerged is the goal!
