June 17, 2026, L.C. Gunn Trail

L.C. Gunn Trail is an out and back trail with stunning views of the Fraser River and Prince George behind it. It is a great evening stroll, best to catch the sunset at the end so you don't have to navigate in the dark. There are multiple lookouts of the river along the trail as it weaves in and out of the woods, with interpretive signs detailing the area's history along the way.

L.C. Gunn Park is home to the western start of L.C. Gunn Trail on the eastern banks of the Fraser River. The park is a thick forest with basic animates like a gravel parking area, interpretive historical signage, and outhouses, but mostly serves as a gateway to the trail.

From this end point here of the L.C. Gunn Trail in its western section, is a nice overlook of the Simon Fraser Bridge, spanning the Fraser River. It's a double truss bridge with four lanes that was built in 1963.
