This is a difficult location to review partly because there are several points of access (some less known than others) but if you’re willing to get out there you’ll be rewarded with an amazing experience, whether you’re hiking, kayaking or fly fishing. Although I don’t fish, I’ve been told by several people this is one of the best places to fish for steelhead in the world. Not surprisingly there are several local guides who can get you where you want to go.

It’s a fabulous lake. Large enough to water ski, boat, paddle board and wake board. It has three separate public use sites - the old Picnic site, Grouchie’s Beach and Furlong Bay Picnic Site and Campground. There is also a site, Waterlily Bay where one can rent cabins. There are also some hiking trails for those who love to walk. Winter and summer it is in use. You’ve heard about summer, but winter offers ice fishing, snowmobiling and skating when the lake is frozen over. Go one give it a try! You will love it!

I love this little creekside campsites and park at Kleanza Creek. The emerald green waters of Kleanza Creek flows out of a small canyon at the park and rushes along the campsites and picnic area to the Skeena River a kilometre away beyond Highway 16. The creek has spawning salmon in it during summer months. There is a nice switchback walk that is kid friendly, to the top of the canyon walls and down the other side to the roaring creek above the canyon. There is a rough trail further on up the creek through the forest. The views of Kleanza Creek and surrounding forests and mountains are quite scenic. This is a great park to take young kids to play in the cold water in summer and learn to scramble on the granite rocks. It is an awesome place to snowshoe or cross-country ski into during the winter when the creek has cool ice and snow formations. It takes about half an hour to ski in and a half hour out through the old growth forest. The campsites are so beautiful where you can back unto the creekbankand listen to the roaring waters of Kleanza. The picnic tables along a nice green grassy area above the creek are a very enjoyable place to have a lunch or supper. There are not too many campsites here which makes it not too busy. The tall trees throughout the park provide a lot of shade in the campsites. There is an on-site attendant here at all times. One can travel the 26 kms. to Kleanza Lake on a logging road at the entrance. This road also takes you to some mountain trails. Kleanza Creek is a very worthwhile area to camp ,visit or have a picnic. The air here is very fresh along the creek and the aromatic scents of evergreens fill the air. This area is also good for huckleberry picking in season. Kleanza Creek Park is a must place to come and veg and take in the scenery, smells, sounds of nature and watch water dippers, kingfishers , eagles and other wildlife.

My husband and I have visited Stewart and Hyder many times over the years and we are always happy to arrive at Bear Glacier. It marks the start of our adventure. We marvel at the waterfalls--really good at certain times of the year. And then there is Bear Glacier welcoming you to the other glaciers farther on like Salmon Glacier and Berendon Glacier. Although we are saddened by the shrinking of the glacier, nevertheless it is still awesome and we find ourselves stopping at almost every pullout to get just another view. Enjoy.

A scenic lookout provides spectacular views of the Douglas Channel from the manicured gardens of Coghlin and Kemano Parks. Gazing down the channel you may catch a glimpse of large ships coming in to the docks or one of the many smaller recreational boats dotting the water. To the east you will see the calm waters of Minette Bay. The islands and coastal mountains provide a breathtaking backdrop.

Giant Spruce Park is located on the shores of the Kitimat River flood plain. The remains of a previously registered "largest living Sitka Spruce in BC" can be found in the park. The tree measures 11.2 metres in circumference (36.7 feet) and once stood 50.32 metres tall (165 feet).

I’ve been too the Sitka Spruce a few times. It’s very tall but over the years it has shortened in height. Very quiet and peaceful. I found no matter how hot it was outside it was nice and cool. Watch out for bears????

Located across from Rio Tinto aluminium smelter, Moore Creek Falls is a photographer's delight. As you climb the rugged staircase carved into the hillside, the sound of snowmelt water rushing down the banks leaves you anticipating what's ahead. These falls are more spectacular after a good rain.
