Hiking

Prince George is nestled into the junction between the Nechako River and the Fraser River. In the Dakelh language, this area was called Thle-et-leh, which means ‘confluence’.

You’ll discover various historical sites in the city centre, enjoy the magnificent panoramic view over the city from Connaught Hill Park, and have a picnic on the banks of the Fraser River in Lheidli T'enneh Memorial Park. It's also worth visiting the Exploration Place Museum, which is the largest museum and only science centre in northern British Columbia.

The Tour starts at the car park near Patricia Boulevard at the Bob Harkins branch of the Prince George Public Library. Take the time to visit the Knowledge Garden and its many native plants before or after your walk.
