Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
The Morice River Greenway runs alongside the Morice River in northern British Columbia, encompassing lush temperate rainforests, river valleys, and diverse wildlife habitats. The greenway follows the river as it winds through the Bulkley-Nechako region, providing access to old-growth cedar and spruce trees, salmon spawning grounds, and an abundance of birdlife. Its waters are popular with anglers targeting steelhead and salmon species, while the surrounding forests draw hikers, mountain bikers, and paddlers. Historically, the area has been significant for Indigenous communities, whose connection with the river and lands continues to this day. The greenway serves both as an ecological corridor protecting valuable riparian habitat and a recreational destination noted for its natural beauty and outdoor opportunities. Visitors can enjoy kayaking and canoeing along gentler river sections, backcountry camping, and wildlife viewing amidst an environment that reflects both conservation priorities and sustainable access. The Morice River Greenway is appreciated for combining the serenity of remote wilderness with manageable access for day trips or longer outings, appealing to nature enthusiasts and hardier adventurers alike.
