is located at the junction of Highway 6 and Highway 3A, at the western
tip of the West Arm of Kootenay Lake, 26 miles (41 km) northeast of Castlegar.
On the shores of the giant Kootenay Lake, Nelson is one of the prettiest towns in British Columbia, in one of the most beautiful settings. Life in Nelson is unhurried, and people still smile and greet visitors. Over 350 lovingly restored turn-of-the-century heritage buildings and facades, breathtaking views and personable citizens make this city a little oasis of genuine civility. Incorporated in 1897 as a mining town, Nelson has bloomed into a unique community with a thriving tourist trade. Cafés and galleries are everywhere,
and many residents seem to be artists or crafts people. Most who pass through
Nelson want to come back, many of them permanently.
