Northern BC is the adventure tour de force in terms of sheer magnitude and diversity of landscape and seascape.

About the Northern BC Region

Its jagged mountaintops, lush green valleys and rugged coastlines make up more than 50% of the entire province of British Columbia and there is no shortage of outdoor pursuit or cultural exploration for even the most seasoned traveler.

Smithers British ColumbiaYou will be most struck by the overwhelming beauty of the Northern BC terrain. Tumultuous coastlines are a welcoming challenge to canoers and kayakers from all over the world, and the saltwater fishing is abundant and rewarding. The active rivers feeding the Pacific Ocean provide a rich supply of Coho, Chinook and Sockeye salmon for fishermen, bears and eagles alike.

Raging rivers that weave through majestic mountains and expansive forests provide the perfect setting for activities like birdwatching or hiking on park trails, or for a more adventurous, challenging back-country climb. Be sure to have your camera with you to capture some amazing photos of BC wildlife! You might find a Grizzly bear fishing with her cubs in a river or a majestic moose grazing lazily in a forest marsh.
