Welcome to Nakusp, the Hidden Gem of the West Kootenay
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008 by GetawayBC.com
Nestled in the Valley of the Hot Springs, surrounded by the Selkirk and Monashee mountain ranges and situated on the pristine Arrow Lakes, the Nakusp area lives up to its reputation as the Hidden Gem of the Kootenays. The ferry crossings have protected the valley from drive-through highway culture, making the journey across the Arrow Lakes feel like you’re being ushered to an island located in a slightly different time, in a truly special place. Climb mountain peaks and experience a walk through blooming alpine meadows. Fish for massive Gerrard rainbow trout or bask on soft sandy beaches. Soak in natural hot springs or enjoy the local eateries and unique Kootenay culture. We guarantee you won’t hit a red light as you drive through the lush forests on our winding mountain roads. Throughout the guide you will be shown the best places to fish, hike, bike, golf, explore local history and enjoy our breathtaking scenery. Use this brochure as the first step in planning your adventures and relaxation. While you’re here, take advantage of the comforting environment and friendly people, who are known to drop what they’re doing to help you on your journey. We welcome you to our hidden valley.
