Greenwood is the smallest incorporated city in Canada and is located along Hwy #3 between Grand Forks and Midway Greenwood in the 1890's was a booming town of mining, smelters and railroads. Today remnants of the glory days remain for the history buff and the small population now sits at approximately 700. In more recent memory Greenwood came to life again as the backdrop as the movie location for Snow Falling on Cedars.

Greenwood has been redeveloping it's Heritage Charm and tourists can visit the Greenwood Museum for information on walking tours, as well as information on the old Phoenix Mine Site area.

Nearby is Jewel Lake which is a welcome retreat for visitors and locals alike. The area is full of wildlife from deer, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, turtles and a wide variety of birds. The Lake is now stocked and in 1933 gave up a world record rainbow trout at 42 pounds and a fork length of 42.5 inches! In winter the area provides for excellent cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and ice fishing.
