Description:
Named after Gilbert Malcolm Sproat, a Kootenay gold commissioner in 1888. Judge Sproat originally came to British Columbia to acquire timber suitable for sailing ship masts. Located in the area that subsequently held Waldie's Sawmill on the Columbia River across from Castlegar, B.C. Sproat's Landing was port-of-call for paddlewheelers travelling between Trail and the Arrow Lakes.
