About This Trail

Enjoy a scenic 3.5 km walk following the Skeena River upstream from Hazelton to the Anlaw, also known as Four Mile Bridge. This peaceful route offers spectacular views of the Skeena River and the majestic Stekyoden Mountain Range, making it a favorite for those seeking a relaxing hike immersed in nature.


As you make your way along the trail, you'll encounter culturally modified trees that provide a glimpse into the rich Indigenous history and cultural heritage of the region, adding a meaningful historical element to the journey. The gentle terrain makes this trail suitable for walkers of a variety of skill levels, allowing plenty of opportunities to pause and take in the surrounding scenery.


Once you reach the bridge, you can choose to retrace your steps along the same riverside trail or complete your outing by returning via Kispiox Valley Road for a different perspective of the area's beautiful landscapes. Whether you're interested in scenic views, local history, or a peaceful outdoor walk, this trail offers a rewarding experience in the heart of the Hazelton region.

Getting There

Directions

The Skeena/Anlaw Trail can be reached by driving into New Hazelton via Highway 16, heading toward the Upper Skeena Recreation Centre, parking nearby, and walking to the forest edge where the trail network begins and connects into various loops and connector trails.

Parking

Parking is available at the Upper Skeena Recreation Centre lot or along nearby streets in New Hazelton, but there is no dedicated parking for the Anlaw Trail since it is part of a shared community trail system that may become busy during events and peak hours.

Safety & Preparation

The trail consists of mixed forest paths and connector routes that can be overgrown, muddy, or poorly marked in some sections, so using an offline map or GPX navigation is recommended to avoid getting off-route.
