The quiet Village of Nakusp is located on the shores of Upper Arrow Lake, a portion of the Columbia River in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. It has a population of around 1,500 and it is known primarily for its nearby hot springs and its picturesque mountain lakeside setting. The town itself is a quiet and safe place to wander - take in the farmer's market, the beautiful lakeside boardwalk, the beach, nearby walking trails, or have a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants or cafes.
