Explore Cottonwood Island Nature Park in Prince George BC. A wooded park covered with almost 300 years old cottonwood trees on the shore of Nechako river, a boat launch and picnic area.

You can cross a historical vertical lift rail bridge here. You can come across 20 faces carved into cottonwood trees along the trail that runs closest to the river.

So, grab your picnic basket, your walking shoes, and your camera – this is a great destination to spend your afternoon.
