The Haisla of the region have occupied the land here for many centuries Explorers trappers prospectors homesteaders adventurers and missionaries have all come through in the last 150 years and have met with a mixture of struggle and success Their stories combined represent a shared history that is echoed across BC and yet a unique one to the valley area Many came during the Kitamaat Methodist Mission years staying for a time then moving on The valley area saw its share of families working on their homesteads and men prospecting and trapping in numerous creeks and mountain valleys There was also speculation on the land when the western terminus for the Grand Trunk Railway line was being decided

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

HIKING TRAIL MAPS

is 2 km one way and is well blazed and easy to follow meandering down to the Kitimat River The rock outcrop at the end of the trail is an excellent place to fish

is 35 km one way The first half of the trail crosses over rugged rock terrain with a number of short up and down pitches in order to navigate around a rock bluff and the river As a result this trail is not recommended for children under 6 years of age The trail terminates where it joins Coho Flats Trail and provides an alternative exit for those not wanting to return the same way

is 4 km one way ndash you can either walk the longer route through the forest that grows alongside Hirsch Creek or you can walk the short 400 m one way shortcut to the canyon viewpoint Stay well back from the edge of the canyon viewpoint and maintain constant supervision of young children as well as your dogs

Kitimat has 11 recognized hiking trails within the municipality and an additional 6 hikes located just short drives from the townsite More information and directions to the trails can be obtained from the Kitimat Visitor Centre

Please use caution when encountering wildlife and keep a respectful distance so the animals do not feel threatened and always let them know you are in the area by making noise For more information on ldquoBear Awarerdquo visit httpswildsafebccom

reflect the communityrsquos historical and cultural beginnings Kitimat is a planned community with a great interpretive sign walkway system Locals and visitors walk many of the loops for exercise or to sightsee Each sign has a wealth of historical information and images specific to each area Detailed information is located on one of the four Circle Tour kiosks found in each neighbourhood or at the Kitimat Visitor Centre

is a 15 km loop and an excellent place for a picnic and to view a coastal old growth forest and exceptionally large trees The trail is flat easy to follow and perfect for the whole family

is 2 km one way The trail follows the south side of Hirsch Creek and if you only have an hour or so to get away from it all try this one

is 15 km one way and follows the old roadATV trail up the north side of the creek and becomes a true trail for the remaining 500 m to the logging bridge This is a great place to run the dog or get a quick walk in before heading out of town

is 35 km one way and runs down the east bank of the Kitimat River to the end of the Lower Dike Road The trail incorporates fishing trails and more recently ATV trails which provide access to the river but also make a nice walk

is 1 km one way and drops approximately 100 m vertical distance to the beach It is an easy walk down however a little more difficult coming back The trail ends on the shore of the Douglas Channel where you will find a picnic table and fire pit A second short trail will take you to the Mid Cove area where you will enjoy additional views This trail is overgrown but easy to follow and providing you take your time should be an enjoyable experience for all ages

has two loops namely the upper and lower loop Each loop is 1 km and great for all ages There are interpretative signs at certain points along the upper loop explaining salmon habitat and the vegetation Dogs need to be on a leash using these two trails as the trails are on private property

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

The BC and Canadian governments and the Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan) promoted Kitimat around the world With aluminum as the new metal they were building the future The Kitimat Project was the model of modern Canadian ingenuity ndash a feat that proved Canadians were able to surmount the wild Canadian landscape

The Kitimat Project was constructed from scratch records were set innovation was at every turn and the result was the largest smelter in the world and the premier community to go with it Kitimat would be a planned community ndash a suburban utopia so desirable to the worker that a stable work force would be maintained

The Haisla of the region have occupied the land here for many centuries Explorers trappers prospectors homesteaders adventurers and missionaries have all come through in the last 150 years and have met with a mixture of struggle and success Their stories combined represent a shared history that is echoed across BC and yet a unique one to the valley area Many came during the Kitamaat Methodist Mission years staying for a time then moving on The valley area saw its share of families working on their homesteads and men prospecting and trapping in numerous creeks and mountain valleys There was also speculation on the land when the western terminus for the Grand Trunk Railway line was being decided

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

is 2 km one way and is well blazed and easy to follow meandering down to the Kitimat River The rock outcrop at the end of the trail is an excellent place to fish

is 35 km one way The first half of the trail crosses over rugged rock terrain with a number of short up and down pitches in order to navigate around a rock bluff and the river As a result this trail is not recommended for children under 6 years of age The trail terminates where it joins Coho Flats Trail and provides an alternative exit for those not wanting to return the same way

is 4 km one way ndash you can either walk the longer route through the forest that grows alongside Hirsch Creek or you can walk the short 400 m one way shortcut to the canyon viewpoint Stay well back from the edge of the canyon viewpoint and maintain constant supervision of young children as well as your dogs

Kitimat has 11 recognized hiking trails within the municipality and an additional 6 hikes located just short drives from the townsite More information and directions to the trails can be obtained from the Kitimat Visitor Centre

is 2 km one way The trail follows the south side of Hirsch Creek and if you only have an hour or so to get away from it all try this one

is 15 km one way and follows the old roadATV trail up the north side of the creek and becomes a true trail for the remaining 500 m to the logging bridge This is a great place to run the dog or get a quick walk in before heading out of town

is 35 km one way and runs down the east bank of the Kitimat River to the end of the Lower Dike Road The trail incorporates fishing trails and more recently ATV trails which provide access to the river but also make a nice walk

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

The north coast of British Columbia is well known for its incredible sport fishing Kitimat located at the head of the Douglas Channel one of BCrsquos longest inland fjords provides access to unbelievable salt water fishing adventures

The 90 km stretch of ocean to the Inside Passage has many feeder creeks and rivers including the Kitimat River which produce migrating salmon These well protected waters offer exceptional fishing for chinook and coho salmon as well as some of the largest halibut found on the BC coast

Whether you launch your own boat at MK Bay Marina or book a charter with one of our well equipped guides you will experience majestic mountains a variety of wildlife and an abundance of fishing opportunities

As you experience the salt spray and ocean wind be on the lookout for sea lions eagles orcas humpback whales and dolphins at play On occasion you may observe Kermode bears exploring the shores of the Douglas Channel bald eagles as they pick a salmon from the salt water or dolphins swimming alongside your boat

When the challenges of catching that trophy fish have you exhausted relax in the sulphur free natural hot springs of Bishop Bay Shearwater or Weewanie

Try your luck at catching massive halibut chinook chum cod coho pinks or snapper to accompany your feast of fresh Dungeness crab and prawns

The opportunities are endless here depending upon the species you seek at the time of year you visit us

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced
