The Village of Nakusp is a small community located on the shores of Upper Arrow Lake, a portion of the Columbia River, in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. The town has a population of around 1,800, and it is known primarily for its nearby hot springs, which are a popular destination for tourists, as well as its picturesque mountain lakeside setting.
Nakusp has a recreational centre that consists of an ice rink, squash courts, curling rink and an auditorium as well as outdoor tennis courts and a soccer Field. Arrow Lakes Hospital serves the village and surrounding communities. There is an elementary school, a high school, and a campus of Selkirk College. The schools are part of School District 10 Arrow Lakes which has its board office in Nakusp.
The area also provides many opportunities for recreation, including the Summit Lake Ski Hill, a short drive out of town towards New Denver. The area around Nakusp was occupied by aboriginal peoples from the Shuswap, Sinixt and Kutenai First Nations. In 1811, the first reported European explorer on the Arrow Lakes was Finan McDonald, an associate of David Thompson.
