With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Nakusp, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Nakusp Hot Springs, Nakusp Arena and Waterfront Walkway. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Nelson, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Baldface Lodge. (But we’re also huge fans of Nelson Whitewater Rafting Co. And Granite Pointe Golf Club.)
