Must Visit Attractions in Prince George

, 5 Options Found

Established in 2016, The Ancient Forest/Chun T’oh Whudujut Park is fairly a new park in the province. Nestled in the Lheidli T’enneh territory, this provincial park features the world's only inland temperate rainforest. Though it is far off from Prince George, it is a must visit for nature lovers. The millennial old red cedars intercepted by mosses, lichens and plants give it an ethereal feel. The boardwalk leads to three magnificent trees and a waterfall. The park is also home to rare, endangered species of plants and has more than 400 types of plants. Hiking and hunting are allowed and there are picnic areas as well. Pets on leash can be brought along. During winters, snowshoeing is a popular sport in this park.

Eskers, after which the Eskers Provincial Park is named, allude to the winding ridges left behind by sand and gravel and form the defining feature of this remarkable park. The provincial park is sprawled over 3,979 hectares (9832.32 acres) and is home to numerous small lakes, soft emerald terrains that seem to stretch forever and trails shrouded by gorgeous Douglas Fir, spruce and lodgepole pine trees. A natural haven for outdoor enthusiasts of every stripe, the park transforms into a winter wonderland when it is blanketed by a thick carpet of snow, forming the ideal terrain for sports like cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. At the height of summer, visitors can undertake activities like canoeing in any of the park's peaceful lakes, fishing, hiking along the myriad trails, or spot regional wildlife like beaver, moose, and black bear.

Densely populated with mature cottonwood trees that lend the park its name, the Cottonwood Island Nature Park is located at the converging point of the Nechako and Fraser Rivers. This splendid park first came into being around 1984 and has since been a proud part of the Heritage River Trail System. The park provides an excellent vantage point to view the historic vertical-lift rail bridge. As you meander along the length of the park, keep your eyes peeled for beautiful Tree Spirit Carvings etched onto several cottonwood trees by artist Elmer Gunderson.

Step back in time as you make your way inside the Huble Homestead Historic Site. Located alongside the Fraser River, the homestead was initially a fur trading outpost. Now one of the most well-known historic sites in the region and an informative museum, the Humble Homestead aims to retell the story of the homestead. From guided tours of the museum where visitors get the chance to explore the exhibits including photographs, documents and old furnishings to hearty lunches and special events, the museum plays host to all. Patrons can also shop for souvenirs and gifts for friends and family back home at the on-site shop. If you are in the mood to glimpse at a slice of history, then certainly head to the Huble Homestead Historic Site.

As a tribute to the First Nations heritage that forms a part of the city's past, the Fort George Park was renamed as the Lheidli T'enneh Memorial Park in 2015. Known as one of the oldest parks in the city, the Lheidli T'enneh Memorial Park is no less than the epicenter of the city's communal landscape. Within its sprawling boundaries that are hemmed by the 17th and 20th Avenues, this park is home to major city attractions and landmarks such as the Exploration Place, the Rotoract Spray Park, and the Rotary Playground, besides also housing smaller gardens and floral displays. Most importantly, the memorial park features as the spot for celebratory days such as Canada Day and also plays host to several festivals and cultural events.
