Prince Rupert Harbour - Marty Clemens

2019 prince rupert visitor guide
The picturesque coastal city of Prince
Rupert nestles narrowly on a small,
mountainous island at the mouth of the
Skeena River, one of the longest undammed
rivers remaining in the world, where a
few dozen kilometers west, the swells
of the open Pacific Ocean make landfall.
The deep-water harbour that flanks Kaien
Island has been an asset to the people
who have lived in this area for thousands
of years, far longer than Prince Rupert’s
current incarnation, and continues
to be integral to its future.

10,000 years of
continuous indigenous
peoples’ habitation
Even just a hundred and twenty-five years ago, a visitor to the area
where Prince Rupert now lies would have seen no large single community
but rather a number of small Tsimshian villages that served as seasonal
encampments during times of food harvesting. Today, coastal Indigenous
culture enriches Prince Rupert’s existence, and continues to resonate with
legend and connection to the land and sea.
The sheltered harbour on which Prince Rupert sits today was especially
ideal for protection during the winter months, and in the early parts of the
1800s, also attracted the attention of explorers from far away.

Prince Rupert’s deep harbour was touted from the early 1900s as a possible site for a world-class port. The city’s
official founder, Charles Melville Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, was a tireless booster for the
area’s potential. Although Prince Rupert only had a few thousand residents when it was incorporated in 1910, it
seemed to be well on its way to becoming a place of note and substance.

THE HALIBUT CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
Prince Rupert found itself once again sustained by the resources at its fingertips, becoming known as the “Halibut
Capital of the World.” Dozens of canneries sprang up along the coast to process abundant seafood harvests,
employing hundreds of people.

THE GROWTH OF
THE MODERN PORT
Today people continue to look to the sea for their
wealth and there is an understanding that the tough
little city with its interwoven fabric of disparate
peoples would not exist if it were not for their
willingness to work hard in the difficult conditions
that coastal life sometimes entails. From the enduring
Indigenous upon whose traditional territory Prince
Rupert stands, to the generations of immigrants who
made the city what it is today, Prince Rupert’s most
important facet is its people, their determination, and
their strength.

BC Ferries run regular trips between Prince Rupert and Skidegate, Haida
Gwaii, and Prince Rupert and Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. The
Prince Rupert ferry terminal is located about three kilometers outside of
downtown. These are large passenger ferries with cafeterias and cabins
available for hire, and they provide both walk-on and vehicle transport.
There are also options for people travelling on bicycles, with pets or with
kayaks. Visit bcferries.com for more information. Prince Rupert ferry
schedules are listed under the Inside Passage and Haida Gwaii routes.
Prince Rupert is also a stop on the Alaska Marine Highway. Passenger
and vehicle ferries connect Bellingham, WA all the way up to Kodiak, AK.
Sailings on the MV Malaspina leave Prince Rupert for Ketchikan, AK twice a
week in the summer. The trip takes about 7 hours.
Seaplanes, Prince Rupert - Simon Ratcliffe SEAPLANE
These small amphibious aircraft have long been the workhorses of the north
coast, taking people into every nook and cranny not accessed by other
transport. Flights to Haida Gwaii, Alaska and the Indigenous communities
around Prince Rupert leave Seal Cove every weekday and are highly
weather dependant. It is recommended to book ahead and have some
flexibility in your travel plans in case of rescheduling.

RAIL
Travelling by train is a wonderful and relaxing way to
make the trip in and out of Prince Rupert. Seats on
the VIA Rail’s Jasper-Prince Rupert passenger train
are spacious and it is rarely fully booked, meaning
you can move around from seat to seat to admire
the gorgeous Skeena River scenery just outside your
window. The observation car is a wonderful feature
that gives you full 360-degree views of mountains,
waterfalls, and wildlife through its glass dome.
The station is located 3 km outside of downtown
in the BC Ferries waterfront terminal. Trains leave
Prince Rupert three times a week at about 8 AM
and are scheduled to arrive in Prince George about
12 hours later, although increased freight traffic on
the rail line means that the passenger service is often
delayed several hours. There is a café service on the
train but it is recommended to bring additional snacks
and beverages in case of a long delay. Visit viarail.ca Via Rail - Tyler Meers

COASTAL
CULTURE
Cow Bay in Prince Rupert - Destination BC / Mike Seehagel
Perched as it is on the edge of some of the most
species-rich coastal waters in the world, Prince
Rupert is unsurprisingly a fishing town through and
through. Although many of the commercial canneries
that powered the local economy for decades have
closed or been relocated, working fishboats and
charter craft still far outnumber pleasure boats on the
docks that jut out along the waterfront.
Different seafoods are harvested depending on the
time of year, but salmon, halibut, and crab are some
of the main prizes. While hiring a guide to get you on
to the ocean is an option, it’s just as easy to drop a line
off the end of a pier and jig for cod. Just be sure to
buy a tidewater fishing license first, which is easiest to

HIKING / WALKING
Prince Rupert has a compact geographic footprint and is a great place for walking. The waterfront is a popular
in-town destination, especially on those long northern summer evenings when the sun never quite seems to set.
Rotary Waterfront Park to Cow Bay:
approximately 1 km one way. Start at the Kwinitsa
Railway Museum and head north along the walkway
past the old brick train station. You’ll see numerous
plaques set into the wall, inscribed with the names of
loved ones now passed, as well as benches to sit and
take in the view. You’ll pass a couple of active fish
packing operations and Northland Cruise Terminal
as you make your way towards Cow Bay. The Port of
Prince Rupert recently installed a new walkway that
will lead you to the historic Atlin Terminal and the
Cow Bay Marina breakwater, a 600-foot-long pier
extending out into the harbour. It’s a great place for a
stroll and there are viewing binoculars at the far end.
Rushbrook Trail: approximately 1.5 km one way.
Start at the far end of the Rushbrook Floats parking
lot. You’ll find the trailhead just behind the Bob’s on
the Rocks building. This is a wide gravel trail suitable
for most abilities that skirts steep cliffs at the very
edge of the water. Newly renovated in 2018, it
Sign at trailhead to Grassy Bay in Prince Rupert - Elaine Rystead
features three suspension bridges and stunning views
up the harbour as far as Tuck Inlet. You’re not far from
the Seal Cove Neighbourhood Pub at the far end if
you need a little pick-me-up before the walk back.
Butze Rapids: approximately 5 km loop. The
trailhead is located in a well-marked parking lot
about 6 km from downtown. This wide gravel path
will take you down to the water’s edge, including a
viewpoint of the spectacular reversing tidal flow that
the trail is named for. Popular with trail runners and
families with strollers alike, be prepared for some
steep sections.
Tall Trees Trail: approximately 4.5 km one way.
The start of this recently updated trail is just a couple
hundred meters past the Butze Rapids parking lot.
This hike will take you 450 meters up the side of
Mount Oldfield and on clear days provides stunning
views of Prince Rupert harbour and the surrounding
mountains. The first section is wide and relatively flat
but quickly becomes steep, making this a moderately
difficult hike. Hiking trail, near Prince Rupert - Simon Ratcliffe

IN-TOWN TRAILS
McClymont Park: 1.5 km one way. Winds between residential areas from the Jim Cicconne Civic Centre to
George Hills Way along Hays Creek. Partially refinished gravel path in sections, muddy and rooty trail in others.
Moresby Pond Loop: 1 km round trip. A popular spot for dog walkers on the west side of the city, look for
beavers, kingfishers, and deer in the long grasses at the far end of the pond. This is quite often a very muddy path
so be sure to have gumboots or similarly sturdy footwear.
POUNDING THE
PAVEMENT
Prince Rupert is extremely lucky to be home to a
vibrant community of recreational runners. One
of the premier events of the year is the Skeena
River Relay, a 140-km-long relay race between
Prince Rupert and Terrace along the Skeena River.
If you’re a runner it’s a great way to get outside
and see some spectacular scenery up close!
