Wrap Around Nakusp

Rating: easy Distance: 5 km Time: 1 hour Surface: pavement, gravel, dirt Modes: walk, bike, roll, push

Trail Description This four-season trail circles the picturesque village of Nakusp, providing a 5 kilometre circuit for strolling, dog walking, jogging, or biking, with portions also accessible to wheelchairs, rollerblades, and baby carriages. The circuit includes the paved Waterfront walk, extending along the top of the soil erosion protector for 1 km from the Marina to the beach. The Walk is renowned for its handsome landscaping, including Spicer’s Garden (GPS Point 1 on the map) in the middle and the Japanese Garden (GPS Point 2) near the beach. At the other end of the beach, the gravel Greenways extension begins (GPS Point 3). The groomed gravel path winds through the shade along the lakefront for 800 metres, providing benches for repose and nature watching and some hills for exercise. A 500 metre gravel lane at the end of 4th St. NW (GPS Point 4) links the Greenways Extension to the Railway Trail that begins across Highway 23 (GPS Point 5). The Railway Trail is a reclaimed railway bed that stretches to Rosebery, 46 km to the south. About 300 metres past the junction with Government Road (GPS Point 6), a path branches off the railway trail to head back downtown (GPS Point 7). From the corner of 1st Ave and 1st St., the path continues along streets back to the Marina. Access Although there are many access points along the trail, the Nakusp Marina is a nice place to start your Waterfront Walk. Located at the bottom of Nelson Ave., the Marina has ample parking space and a covered picnic area with luscious arbour gardens (GPS P ). Modes of Use Waterfront Walk—hike, bike (with caution), wheelchairs, roller-blades, or any non-motorized modes of transportation. Greenways Extension—hike, bike, baby carriages possible, but there’s one short, steep hill. Railway Trail—hike, bike, small motorized vehicles and horses. Pathway from Railway Trail to Marina—bikes and foot traffic only—somewhat steep with a loose, ungroomed surface. Past and Future When BC Hydro flooded the Arrow Lakes in the 1960’s, a ce-ment soil protection barrier was constructed along the town’s waterfront. Over the years, volunteer work, grant monies and the Village of Nakusp have developed the Waterfront Walk to its present beautiful state, with its commemorative benches, trees and ample gardens. The Greenways Extension was added in the late 1990’s with the help of federal government grants and local workers. The Village of Nakusp has plans to further upgrade the trail around town, so it will only get better! If You Liked This Trail If the Wrap Around Nakusp trail appealed to you, try Cedar Grove Loop, Box Lake Loop or portions of Rosebery Railway Trail, which are also relatively short, easy hikes in this area.

TThe Japanese Gardens offer a peaceful rest stop and phenomenal view.
