Enjoy a peaceful and easy stroll around Ferguson Lake through a historic part of Prince George, BC.

Ferguson Lake is a small and beautiful lake on the north eastern edge of the Prince George city limits. It's a great place to go for a nice walk around the picturesque lake.

It has a view point, picnic table, interpretive signage, outhouse and a dock. Only human-powered boats are allowed on the lake, such as kayaks and canoes.

Once in the parking area you can choose to go either way around the lake. There are a few nice board walks and parts of the trail and get quite muddy at certain times of the year. Most of the trail is quite flat with very few small hills. Along the trail there are a couple of old hand built houses, as they used to house homesteaders in the early 1900s.

There is also great fishing in the lake, it is currently only stocked with Rainbow Trout. Just make sure you have the proper licenses to fish in BC.

To get there, head north on the John Hart Highway (97N) and then turn left onto North Kelly Road. Follow the road until you see a sign that says "Ferguson Lake Nature Reserve," turn left on that road, it is called Ferguson Lake Road. Continue straight until you get to the lake.

This is an awesome lake to visit. I always love seeing the remains of hand build log cabins/homes. The mosquitoes are vicious, bug spray is a must!

Starting at the Eskers Provinicial Park parking area, walk along the trail past the marsh view point and continue on until you cross a small bridge and see a Park Map.

Swim at The Rock Quarry

Starting on Highway 97, head north approximately 43 kilometres, until you come to a road on the left called "Tallus Road." Turn left, and drive until you see a big red gate on the side of the road. There will more than likely be a long line of cars parked here, so you'll know you're in the right spot. From here walk around the fence and over the rocks and begin your not so scenic walk towards t...

Cross the train tracks and then take the first right onto Cain Creek Road. Once on that road keep driving until you cross a one way bridge and you will see the Teapot Mountain trail head sign. After arriving at the trail head, parked and ge...

Fort George Canyon Trail

The hike to Fort George Canyon is relatively flat for the first half of the hike and then gradually starts to descend into the canyon with the final stretch a switchback trek right to the water. It starts out walking through a cut block for around 2km and then you head into a lush green forest full of wild roses, bunchberry, ferns, alder, fireweed and many other plants. There are a few boardwa...

Explore Hixon Falls

The 100 foot Hixon Falls cascades into a deep pool, and then flows down into two more deep pools. The walk to Hixon Falls is short and easy, but once you are at the big rock there is a not so sturdy 2x4 piece of wood used as a make shift bridge to get closer to the falls. Be very careful crossing it as it's ultra slippery. 100% worth the scary shuffle to the other side. Once across you can get...

Hike to Raven Lake

To reach the trailhead travel east from Prince George on Highway 16. At 88 km turn right onto Hungary Creek Service Road. Travel 13 km on the main road and turn right at the junction (keep your eye out for the sign). From here there its only 3 km to the parking lot.Right off the start the trail crosses a small creek then gains elevation in a series of switchbacks. This continues for 3.5 km then...
