Nakusp
Nakusp is a small Arrow Lakes town that punches well above its size for mountain biking, thanks largely to the Nakusp Bike Society. The NABS has developed over 50 km of trails at the Mount Abriel Recreation Site, with a deliberate focus on inclusive and adaptive trail design. It's one of the few trail networks in the Kootenays specifically built with accessibility in mind. Shon's Bike & Ski is the town's dedicated bike and ski shop, also operating accommodation for visiting riders. The hot springs and lake make Nakusp a worthwhile destination beyond the trails.

TrailRipper's Take
Nakusp is a sleeper destination — not many people outside the Kootenays know about it, which means the trails are quiet and the community is welcoming. The focus on adaptive and inclusive trails makes it a great destination for families that ride together.
Mt. Abriel Rec Site just north of town is where all riding happens including campground to stay right by the lake.
For the in-between riding days, our kids love the adventure playground at Centennial Park in town as well as the beach right across the road.
