Map
Welcome to Fort Nelson, BC!
Residents of Fort Nelson do not complain about their wild neighbours – the caribous, bears, moose, bald eagles and peregrine falcons are much adored, as are the breathtaking parks where they reside. The town of under 5,000 people is actually the largest community between Fort St. John and the Yukon border, thus a major stop for travellers carrying on to Alaska. True outdoor enthusiasts may take on the challenge of the Kwadacha Wilderness Provincial Park (southwest of Fort Nelson), where the largest ice field in the Rocky Mountains north of the 54th lies. Tender-foots beware, as the park has no roads, and is generally accessed by air or horseback and hiking is for the experienced. A temptation after a day in the bush most may find hard to resist is a dip in the Liard Hot Springs, 245 km (152 mi) west of Fort Nelson, which even in winter steams at 41-43°C (105-110°F).
