Explore the region.
Start close to Prince George or plan a longer trip. Each region brings together its hikes, waterfalls, walks and camping, with individual guides for the road approach and the outing itself.
Prince George
Explore forest walks, river viewpoints and trail networks in and near Prince George. Check the city-boundary filter for municipal locations. These guides bring together practical starting points, route choices, dog rules and published accessibility details. City trails still vary in surface, grade and winter maintenance.
34 documented placesArea under research
These researched places still need a more precise regional association. Read their source notes before planning a journey; the catalogue does not yet establish a complete road approach for every entry.
1 documented placesBear Lake & northern lakes
Explore lake country north of Prince George around Bear Lake, Summit Lake and the Highway 97 corridor. Short viewpoints, forest walks and recreation sites have different access arrangements, so check the final road approach and camping rules for each place.
22 documented placesBlackwater & southwest
Explore the Blackwater country and the area southwest of Prince George. Resource-road travel can be an important part of these outings. Read the final approach carefully, including road condition and seasonal limitations recorded in the source notes.
10 documented placesFarther destinations
These farther destinations extend beyond the main Prince George travel corridors. They remain in the guide because they appear in the regional research library. Plan them using their own local access information and land-manager notices.
5 documented placesFort St. James
Find walks and mountain destinations around Fort St. James. Read each guide’s access and route scope carefully, particularly where a recorded outing covers only part of a trail network.
5 documented placesHixon & Quesnel
Follow the corridor south from Prince George toward Hixon and Quesnel for waterfall walks, forest trails and recreation sites. Check both the highway approach and the final access road; a place’s distance from town does not establish its driving time.
17 documented placesMackenzie & Parsnip
Explore Mackenzie, Morfee Mountain and the Parsnip area. Some outings use maintained recreation networks, while others involve mountain roads or rough routes. Compare the specific starting point, terrain and route scope before planning the drive.
8 documented placesMcBride & Robson Valley
Explore the Robson Valley around McBride, Dunster and the surrounding mountain valleys. Highway-side outings sit close to longer hikes reached by resource roads. Road descriptions and route endpoints matter when comparing distance, gain and travel time.
27 documented placesPine Pass, Chetwynd & Peace
Explore Pine Pass, Chetwynd and the Peace-side mountain corridors. Highway rest stops and waterfall viewpoints offer different trips from alpine routes and rough-road trailheads. Summer and winter approaches may differ; use the individual route notes.
18 documented placesPrince George surroundings
Find outings close to Prince George that are outside or not confirmed within city boundaries. A short straight-line distance can still involve a longer drive; use the guide’s documented access rather than the map pin alone.
2 documented placesTumbler Ridge & Monkman
Find waterfalls, canyons and mountain walks around Tumbler Ridge and Monkman. Some destinations are reached from town roads; others involve long drives on resource roads. Read the approach and dated closure notes before selecting a waterfall or backcountry itinerary.
38 documented placesUpper Fraser & Sugarbowl
Follow Highway 16 east from Prince George toward the Upper Fraser valley, Ancient Forest and Sugarbowl–Grizzly Den country. The same corridor offers low-elevation forest walks and strenuous mountain routes; check the selected approach, forest-road access and seasonal conditions.
49 documented placesValemount & Mount Robson
Plan walks and mountain outings around Valemount, Mount Robson and the northern Columbia Mountains. Use park notices and reservation information alongside the individual guides, particularly for overnight trips and routes with seasonal access changes.
51 documented placesVanderhoof & Fort St. James
Explore the corridor connecting Vanderhoof and Fort St. James. Each listed guide retains its own road approach, route measurements and available camping information.
1 documented placesVanderhoof & Fraser Lake
Explore west of Prince George around Vanderhoof and Fraser Lake. These guides cover forest routes, regional viewpoints and recreation sites, with separate notes for road approaches and overnight use where a reliable source is available.
22 documented placesWells, Barkerville & Bowron
Explore the mountain trails around Wells and Barkerville and the Bowron area. The Wells summit routes have individual starting points, forestry-road approaches and terrain. Confirm the intended summit and whether the listed distance is one way or return.
