Prince George / Full trip pack
Wilson Park
A riverside trail system follows the southern bank of the Nechako through a nature park. It offers changing river views on a short walk within Prince George.
1. Getting there and parking
Use the City’s listed access at 1010 Ospika Boulevard. This entrance serves Wilson Park on the south side of the Nechako; a river-centre pin or a route on the opposite bank is not an equivalent trailhead. Follow public park signs and keep any nearby residential or service access clear.
2. Walking the route
Explore the paths along the southern riverbank and choose a return through the same park network. The municipal listing gives 2.5 km of trails rather than a prescribed loop. River viewpoints provide places to stop, with a picnic table and outhouse also listed. Keep dogs leashed throughout. If extending onto other riverside paths, check the current signed access: the City warns that portions of the broader Heritage River Trail along the Nechako are unavailable, so an older long-distance itinerary is not proof of a continuous connection.
