Maybe you love spending time in the great outdoors. Perhaps you crave art, culture, boutique shopping, and fine dining. Prince George offers the best of both worlds. Northern BC’s largest city puts urban amenities mere minutes from spectacular wilderness opportunities. If the water calls, go paddling or fishing at any one of the 1,600 lakes and rivers within a 100km radius of the downtown core. Bring home a Rainbow Trout or Whitefish for dinner.
A thriving university town, Prince George is rich in art and culture. There’s a vibrant restaurant scene, several craft breweries, and indoor farmers’ markets. Exceptional boutiques make it fun to hunt for something special. Aspenwood is close to Costco, Walmart, Home Depot, and Petland. Have dinner at Earls, White Goose Bistro, The Twisted Cork, or Shogun Japanese Steakhouse. You’re within minutes of shopping, dining, health care, and entertainment, yet quietly apart from the hustle and bustle.
Northerners embrace each season in turn. Autumn’s foliage makes for beautiful cycling and golfing. With winter, snowflakes drift, lakes turn to ice, and Prince George becomes a land of blue skies over a blanket of white, with endless recreational possibilities. There’s cross country skiing and snowshoeing at the Otway Nordic Centre, and skating at the Outdoor Ice Oval. Spring’s snowmelt leaves wildflower meadows for heavenly hiking.
