04 Cottonwood Island Nature Park
Keen on a leisurely stroll or a bike ride? Head for Cottonwood Island Nature Park, with its scenic trails along the Nechako and Fraser Rivers. Say hi to the beavers, squirrels, and chickadees, and beware of rare but possible black bear encounters. A local artist, Elmer Gunderson, has whittled unique artwork into the bark of some trees, so you can go on a treasure hunt looking for more carvings. You'll need to come armed with bug spray to keep the mozzies at bay. The park is a feast for the senses in fall when the colors change, crisp leaves crackle underfoot, and seasonal scents perfume the air.
