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.
 You 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.
What to do in Northern BC
 Also notable in Northern BC is the network of friendly cities large and small, rich with culture and ancient history. With a population of around 75,000, Prince George is the largest city in the region and hosts all the amenities of a major city including shopping, restaurants and hotels. Tour the city pulp mill or a demonstration forest to experience a hands-on display of how important the forestry industry is to Northern BC, or explore native arts and folklore in one of the city’s art galleries or museums.
Whether you’re after the comfort and civilization of a big city or the adventure and vitality of the British Columbia wilderness, beautiful Northern BC is a must-see when you travel Canada!
