A wooded ravine walk leads to Nechako cutbank viewpoints above Prince George. The park offers a shorter direct lookout visit and a longer trail option, which should be selected separately.

1. Getting there and parking

Use the regional park access on Hoferkamp Road. This is different from the City’s McMillan Creek Fishing Park on Prince George Pulpmill Road; navigating to the latter does not put you at the regional trailhead. The regional district lists opening from May 1 to November 1, 6 am–11 pm. Check the sign at the entrance for current gate restrictions.

2. Walking the route

From the park entrance, choose the short direct trail to the cutbank lookout or the longer path through the forested ravine. The regional district lists the shorter option at 1 km and the longer at 2.5 km without clearly defining whether those figures are return distances, so retain the selected route’s stated scope. Interpretation covers the creek and surrounding Douglas-fir habitat. Remain on the established viewpoint approach rather than descending the cutbank. McMillan Creek supports spawning fish and has special fishing regulations; a scenic walk does not imply unrestricted creek access or fishing permission. Picnic tables and toilets are available in the park.
