Mackenzie

"Fabulous place", "Great place to visit", "Nice people and town", "Peaceful, scenic place you have", that's what visitors are saying about Mackenzie. Come and discover a natural, unspoiled wilderness that provides ample opportunities for both summer and winter outdoor recreation activities, wildlife viewing and spectacular photography moments. Learn about the famous explorer, Alexander Mackenzie, and his journey through the area. Visit the World's Largest Tree Crusher, which was used to clear non-merchantable timber in the valleys that were flooded for the WAC Bennett Dam.

Activities:
Plenty of outdoor activities here, hiking, swimming, snow-mobiling, camping, hunting and fishing are just a few. Limited indoor activities for those rainy days.
3.0/5

Events:
Not too much goes on here since there is a very limited population to participate in big events.
0.5/5

View:
The natural landscape views of mountains, lakes and wildlife are spectacular and abundant. There isn't a lot of history to this relatively young town and although the plant life is quite diverse the vibrant colours of trees in the fall and limited flower varieties in the spring are all you find for a change from the standard forest green.
3.5/5

Accommodations:
With such small numbers of tourists staying in the town there is a visible lack of accommodations, only 3 listed on their website but they are missing the camping. The prices are affordable no matter how you choose to stay.
2.5/5

Dinning & Shopping:
Again, small town limits the number of stores and services. A good variety of food though with chinese, western, pizza and Greek/Italian.
2.5/5

Visit-ability:
A beautiful place to stop in and see for a day or two, giving people a great place to enjoy the outdoors in both summer and winter.
3.0/5

Total Rating: 15/30

Thoughts:
This a wonderful place to go and see some of Canada's largest wildlife. For people that enjoy hiking, fishing and hunting this is a must see place.
