10 REASONS TO STAY A WHILE
01
NENIKE KH/NANIKA-KIDPRICE PROVINCIAL PARK

MOUNT HARRY DAVIS TRAILS
Looking for action or downtime? Mountain bike the trails or gather with family at the picnic hub—it’s your call.
03
MORICE RIVER
(WIDZIN KWAN)
Steelhead fishing here isn’t just good—it’s legendary. Anglers come from far and wide to test their skills. Not a fisher? Not a problem. Paddle, float, or tube the Morice for a laid-back, family-friendly adventure on the water.
04
SILVERTHORNE LAKE TRAILS AND CAMPGROUND
Hike, bike, ski, or snowshoe—Silverthorne Lake has options for any season. Paddle its calm waters during the day, then camp under starlit skies for the whole experience.
05
CHINA KNOWS MOUNTAIN (TSE ZHUL)
Climb the rugged slopes of China Knows Mountain, known as Tse Zhul (“rock neck”) in Witsuwit’en. Rumours of gold swirl through the hills, but the views alone are worth the trek.
