Needles Ferry Service

A barge-type cable ferry vessel "Needles", runs across Lower Arrow Lake, about 59 km south of Nakusp on Highway 6 between Fauquier and Needles and provides uninterrupted year-round ferry service, 24 hours a day, every day.

The Needles Ferry is a vital connection in the movement of tourists, commuters, and to those wishing to access important social services such as doctors, dentists, pharmacies, etc.

The Fauquier community is mainly a rural-residential townsite. The community has limited amenities; there is a general store, a motel, a gas station, a volunteer fire department and a community hall.

Several individuals from the Fauquier area use the Needles ferry to commute to Vernon.
