Nestled in the grandeur of British Columbia, Canada, Fort Nelson is a charming little gem cradled by the Muskwa, Prophet, and Sikanni Chief Rivers. Despite its subarctic climate, it's a town where the Northern Rocky Mountains sparkle in the long winters and the Liard River Hot Springs soothe away the crisp chill on short summer days.

Steeped in rich history that stretches back to 1805, Fort Nelson started life as a bustling trading post for the North West Company. Fast-forward to World War II when the Alaska Highway's construction breathed life and color into our delightful town. As you wander through the quiet streets today, you'll feel the echoes of times long gone.

Enjoy the harmony of our diverse community, where a rich tapestry of European and Indigenous lineage intertwines. The Fort Nelson First Nation adds weaves of vibrant cultural heritage into the fabric of our town.

We are a powerhouse in forestry and oil and gas extraction. The murmur of resource-based work fills the air, with stalwarts like Canfor fostering the vitality of our local economy.

But it's not all work - Fort Nelson offers a treasure trove of discoveries for curious travelers. Uncover our past through the hallways of the Fort Nelson Heritage Museum. Satiate your outdoor spirit with an expedition to the Northern Rocky Mountains Park. Rejuvenate with a soothing dip in the Liard River Hot Springs. And don't miss the chance to marvel at nature's light show during our annual Northern Lights Festival.

Come, experience Fort Nelson, where history, hard work, and spectacular natural beauty unite to offer you an unforgettable journey!
