Nakusp
Surrounded by lakes and mountains, Nakusp is fondly referred to as the “Hidden Gem” of the Kootenays. The Arrow Lakes and surrounding area offer beautiful scenery and a wide array of outdoor recreational opportunities. Nakusp is a vibrant business community with year-round amenities and a warm, friendly community. Experience summer like you never have before with world-class fishing, horseback riding, and golfing. Winter turns Nakusp into a virtual wonderland with great ice fishing, skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. After a day in the snow, the soothing waters of the Nakusp Hot Springs are an attraction for tourists and residents alike.
