Linked to the public beach and the downtown park, you will find the beautiful and serene Waterfront Walkway and the Wrap Around Nakusp Trail. The Waterfront Walkway offers stunning views of the Arrow Lakes and surrounding areas. The Wrap Around Nakusp Trail is part of the old CPR right-of-way which has been converted into a walking trail, which in turn has been linked to our waterfront walkway and connected to the Rails to Trails network in the Regional District of Central Kootenay.
