A long wooded corridor connecting the UNBC side of Cranbrook Hill with Otway, with access to Forests for the World along the way. It supports short return walks as well as a much longer point-to-point outing.
Sources reviewed . This is a research date, not a trail inspection.
The published measurements describe the wider trail network. Your walk’s length and climbing depend on the trails you choose. Choose a listed route option for its own measurements.
A full-route elevation profile is not available yet. The mapped paths have not been verified as one continuous outing.
Choose a specific route where available. Individual map fragments are not shown as separate hike stages.
The hosted map shows approximately 17.7 km point to point through the Greenway. This is a through-route with different endpoints, not a return walk or the total of every network trail; arrange the finish and transport plan.

A named loop outing of approximately 5 km within this wider network. Its specific start and trail sequence remain separate from our general network guide; it is not a network-wide distance.

City mapped trail segments / park network; not a single measured hiking itinerary. Line source (opens original source).
Choose an access point before calculating your outing: the UNBC Greenway trailhead is off Tyner Boulevard; Forests for the World is reached from Cranbrook Hill Road and Kueng Road. Lower-hill approaches also exist at the ends of Hopkins Road, Ferry Avenue and Pinewood Avenue. Starting on those lower approaches changes the climbing and distance. A through-walk to Otway requires a return or transport plan; parking at one end does not make the route a loop.
Estimated drive from Prince George: 12 min · 8.4 km. Modeled one-way driving time from downtown Prince George using mapped road speeds, rounded up to a whole minute. No live traffic or invented forest-road multiplier. This estimate is to the UNBC Greenway lot. Choose your walking route and return plan separately; the network has several other entrances.
Map position: 53.91901, -122.89850 · park reference point derived inside official boundary. Official City ParkName=Cranbrook Hill Greenway; OBJECTID=1439; active park polygon. Marker computed inside its largest polygon, checked against exterior and holes. Park location marker for orientation; not a source-published parking point or trailhead. Neighbourhood park existence does not establish a named hiking route.
Follow the Greenway corridor for an out-and-back of your chosen length, or use mapped connections into Forests for the World for a shorter forest circuit. Shane Lake makes a useful objective when starting near the southern end. The published 17.6 km figure refers to the Greenway-to-Otway route, while shorter walks can be only a few kilometres. Old roads and side paths spread across Cranbrook Hill, so distinguish the main corridor from a local spur at each junction. Decide on a turnaround time before leaving the main trailhead, particularly if you have started at a lower neighbourhood access.

Season-specific access has not been established in this guide. Read the dated notices and original land-manager information before choosing a departure date.
These are dated research notes. Open the trip planner for current available weather and advisory feeds; no alert found does not establish that a trail or road is open.
On-route camping permission has not been established for this outing. Check the relevant land manager before planning an overnight stay; a mapped lake, cabin or previous tent location does not confirm permission.
