Ainsworth Hot Springs
Nelson
Vibrant is just one way to describe Nelson. It’s a quaint
city with a big personality and lots of festivals and events
to keep you entertained. Whether you’re visiting for a
day or a week, or two, Nelson offers shopping, museums,
galleries, performing arts, dining and no shortage of
outdoor activities.
With hot springs, caves, hiking, fishing and boating
opportunities, there’s a lot to keep you busy at Ainsworth Hot
Springs. Though small, it’s full of activities and the unique
scenery makes it one of our major tourist destinations.
Balfour
Balfour, home to the longest free ferry in the world, is
a serene community cradled by both Selkirk and Purcell
mountain ranges on the shores of Kootenay Lake. Home to
fishing, hiking, golfing and beachfronts, Balfour provides a
getaway for everyone.
