Fort Nelson, BC at a Glance
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).
