Take a leisurely walk through the towering trees and trails at Ferry Island. You’ll also find all sorts of other carvings along the way including faces carved into the cottonwood trees along the trail.

 

Pack your lunch at the day-use picnic sites, or stay for a night or two in one of the camping sites for RVs and tents. It’s also one of the best places to take dogs off-leash.

Take a walk along Terrace’s Howe Creek Trail and discover some spectacular carvings along the way including a giant carved eagle and eaglets towering in the woods. You’ll find nice benches and carved mushrooms by local wood carving artist, Joerg “JJ” Jung.

 

Then, drive up to the Terrace Mountain trailhead and take the 20-minute hike to the first lookout where you’ll find the Terrace Wolfpack metal sculptures overlooking Terrace and the Skeena River. Keep your eyes open for the small signs that point your way to the access trail that forks right about five minutes past the start of the trail.

Discover the gorgeous murals and public art spread out throughout the downtown core. It can take a good couple hours to visit the many murals, sculptures and banners that liven up city. Many murals reflect the region’s rich Indigenous history along with themes surrounding salmon and their importance to the region.

 

Grab a coffee from one of our many coffee shops and don’t forget to pack your camera.
