Fort Nelson really flourished as a result of the
construction of the Alaska Highway in the early
40's. Today, it's a thriving community with an
economy based on forestry, oil and gas, as well
as on area services and tourism.
Nelson is surrounded by a back country bursting
highway", west and north into the Northern Rocky
Mountains, and into our back yard. Whether you
prefer relaxing with a good book at a secluded bed
& breakfast or gearing up for a week-long trek
through the awesome natural erosion sculptures
of the Wokkpash Valley, the choice is yours. Shoot
some white water or do an easy float trip, camp
in alpine forests by a glacier-green mountain lake,
explore the wilderness by riverboat, escape for
a remote weekend in a rustic cabin, relax and
refresh in the lush Liard River Hot Springs,
pamper yourself at a luxurious mountain retreat,
experience some of BC's finest freshwater fishing,
launch your canoe or kayak for an afternoon
outing or a week-long wilderness trip, hitch up with
a trail ride, or take your camera flightseeing
... or wildlife spotting or birding. Fort Nelson and
the Northern Rockies truly offer "your great
escape", whatever that might be.
