Prince George / Full trip pack
Cranbrook Hill Greenway
https://hikingprincegeorge.com/hikes/cranbrook-hill-greenway
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.
1. Getting there and parking
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.
Drive from Prince George: 8.4 km · approximately 12 minutes. Estimate; allow for road conditions and stops.
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.
2. Walking the 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.
