Prince George has an extensive trail system that winds through many City parks and green spaces including Ginter’s Meadow, Cottonwood Island Nature Park, and Lheidli Tenneh Memorial Park. Always remember to be Bear Aware when using trails in nature parks.

Stay Safe on Trails

Obey trail signs. Stay to the right on a trail and pass on the left.
Dress for the weather.
Watch out and be ready for natural hazards like falling tree branches, uneven or slippery trails, etc. There is limited trail maintenance during the winter months.
Be Bear Aware. Make noise, travel in groups, and never approach or feed a bear. Report all sightings to the BC Conservation Office at 1-877-952-RAPP (7277).
