Situated in the Selkirk Mountains, the town of Nakusp is truly a hidden gem, complete with stunning lakes, forests, and mineral-rich hot springs to explore.

And here’s a fun fact for you: The village of Nakusp has long been passionate about hockey, according to the town’s website. So much so, in fact, that the Arrow Lakes Fruit Fair Association used part of the old Fair Building as an arena in the winter, which has since evolved into the Nakusp and District Sports Complex.

So there you have it, BC! If you’re looking for some quality R&R this long weekend, you know where to find it.
