Access & Places
Fosthall Bay Recreation Site
Key points
- Boat-in only. Fosthall Bay sits on the west shore of Upper Arrow Lake roughly 14-16 km north of Nakusp; there's no drive-in road to the bay itself, only lake access by boat.
- What's there. A recreation site with informal camping close to the water, at the mouth of Fosthall Creek.
- The draw. A short hike up from the bay reaches Fosthall Falls on the creek.
Open questions
- Exact facility details (number of sites, tenure, fees) aren't confirmed against the official BC Recreation Sites and Trails registry.
- Whether the Fosthall Forest Service Road reaches the bay from inland, or only serves the upper drainage, isn't confirmed.
