It is very beautiful and peaceful at Serenity Views, but venturing into the Village of Nakusp is also a great experience. Here are some ideas for trip to town on a Saturday:
Each Saturday from May to October, there is a Farmer’s Market, where you can find all sorts of crafts, jewellery, baking, plants, produce and even music. Down the road from the market, visit Home Grown Market and Juice Bar which features organic produce. There are several other interesting stores in Nakusp, mostly along the main street (Broadway), but taking the side streets will bring you to a chocolate shop, an art gallery, and other unique shops.
A trip to town must include a walk along the waterfront walkway where you can see all sorts of flowers in bloom. Grab a coffee from one of the coffee shops and enjoy the gorgeous views! If you feel like taking a dip in the Arrow Lake, there is a beautiful sandy, public beach at the west end of the waterfront walkway.
The Nakusp Visitor Centre is also a great place to visit while in town, if you need maps and directions, and other ideas for activities!
After a few days of rainy weather, Nakusp is now enjoying warm, sunny weather. The hummingbirds have returned and flowers and trees are beginning to blossom. One of the favorite activities of visitors and residents of Nakusp is to walk along the waterfront promenade – a one kilometre pathway stretching along the shoreline of the Upper Arrow Lake. This paved pathway is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy nature. There are trees, benches, several flower gardens, a recently installed stone sculpture, and even a peaceful Japanese garden to visit.
Well, it seems like we will get our white Christmas! As I write this, big beautiful snowflakes are falling. Although we receive a fair amount of snow in our area, the temperatures usually remain around 0 degrees which makes it very comfortable for being outside.
Buying fresh produce at the Farmers’ Market is another popular activity. Each Saturday morning in the street beside the coffee shop, there are tables set up with produce, baking, jams, crafts, jewellery and other goodies for sale.
