 | Nipika, in conjunction with the BC Government, maintains 50 kilometres of groomed cross country ski trails, and an additional 30 kms of single track trails. Ski to see the splendour of the natural bridge or along the rising cliffs of the Cross River and Kootenay River. The Woodlot trails to the South of the cabins are beginner- intermediate, while the trails to the Natural Bridge and Corral Creek on the north side of Nipika are intermediate - expert. |

 | Touring and Snowshoe Treks For the tourers and snowshoers there a many kilometres of winding trails and the single track left over from the hikers, mountain bikers and runners of summer. One of our best trails follows the cliffs of the Kootenay River south to Cochrane Creek.
Snowshoe rentals and guided naturalist snowshoe tours are both available. |

 | Ice Skating & Toboganning Don't forget to bring your skates! Nipika pond will be open for skating, crack the whip, and pick up hockey (this is Canada, eh!). And, make sure to bring the kids toboggans because Mount Sledmore located near the cabins is the ideal tobogganing hill. |

 | Just 32 kilometres from Nipika is Radium Hot Springs. A great family oriented facility, Radium Hot Springs features a hot mineral pool as well as a cool swimming pool with pool slide and play area. Of course, you may prefer to stay closer to home and dip into our hot tub. |

 | The natural setting of Nipika lends itself to unsurpassed bird and wildlife watching. Wander on your own or join in a guided hike to learn more about the wildlife and wild sights around you. Sit around the fire pit roasting marshmallows or just gaze into the flames, listening to the wolves howl. |
