Prince George Attractions

 
Prince George, often referred to as the "Gateway to the North", is situated at the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser rivers in the north of British Columbia. It is the chief town of an extensive surrounding area in which some 170,000 people live. Above all, though, it is an important road and rail junction, where the east-west Yellowhead Highway (TransCanada Hwy 16) intersects the north-south John Hart Highway-Caribou Highway (Hwy 97), and where C.N. trains en route between Prince Rupert and Vancouver both make stops. Prince George is also an important center for the west Canadian cellulose and paper industry.
