Chetwynd Attractions
Chetwynd (pop. 3100, 615 m (2018 ft)), already in the foothills of the Rockies, is another young settlement on the northern frontier, on the edge of the untamed wilderness.
Chetwynd is a great base from which to explore the surrounding areas and the starting point for wilderness tours (hiking, canoeing, hunting, and fishing trips). It is also considered the gateway to the Peace River.
Within the town of Chetwynd there are also some recreational opportunities such as the recreation complex with a wave pool.
