The city of Prince George was developed amid the great forests and waterways of British Columbia’s central interior. Within the city, we have preserved the beauty and tranquility of our natural heritage in lots of parks and trails, many of which are naturally accessible to persons using mobility devices.
“Forests for the World” is one such park located about 8kms (Roughly 5 miles) from city center in Prince George’s extreme backyard. It borders the University of Northern British Columba on the north, who use it for a demonstration forest for their forestry courses amid the turmoil of public access in the park.
Public access is granted by turning left on 15th Ave at Victoria Street to Foothills Blvd, turn left to Cranbrook Hill road. Follow Cranbrook Hill road quite a way and turn left on Sinden road (South) to the FFTW parking lot. Take some time to explore along the way, young growth forests of mixed Conifer and Deciduous trees and limited residential properties make a nice relaxing ride to the scenic area you will enter shortly.
As with all parks within Prince George, conventional vehicles, motorbikes & ATV’s are forbidden. It is wise to carry noisemakers to avoid running into the predatory wildlife that also inhabit the woods around the city. Enjoy the bush and please be “fire wise” in dry summer conditions so that the forest remains for its’ many visitors and educational pursuits.
