Stewart

Situated across from Alaska's Misty Fiords National Park and at the end of the Portland Canal, Stewart, BC is a unique border town attracting tourists from every corner of the world.

Activities:
Fishing. That pretty much sums it up. Lots of places and types though, rivers, lakes, streams, and ocean. All in one place.
2.5/5

Events:
Due to the small size of the town, not much goes on here.
1.0/5

View:
Amazing view of mountains and the ocean, wildlife, lakes and glaciers on the drive into town. Well worth the trip.
3.5/5

Accommodations:
Only a couple of places to stay while visiting. A couple of camp grounds, a couple of hotel/motels and a B&B.
2.5/5

Dinning & Shopping:
A couple of stores and local restaurants but again not a big variety
2.0/5

Visit-ability:
A must see for all nature lovers and fishing enthusiasts. This is a beautiful area of the province and a definite gem.
2.5/5

Total Rating: 14/30

Thoughts:
A very small place that is worth stopping at on a trip either up the Cassiar Highway or if you are travelling towards Terrace. Great wildlife and scenery to see on the drive there and once in town. Not somewhere you would want to spend a week unless you are there for the fishing but somewhere to put on any nature lovers bucket list.

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.
