Rainmaker Trail is a peaceful loop around Ross Lake near Hazelton, British Columbia, offering a relaxing outdoor experience through a combination of forest trail and quiet road sections. Located on the unceded traditional territory of the Gitxsan Nation and managed by BC Parks, the trail provides visitors with an opportunity to appreciate both the region's natural beauty and its cultural significance.
As you make your way around the lake, you'll travel through lush forests where portions of the trail may be slightly overgrown and damp, especially after rainfall. While insects can be common during the warmer months, the occasional openings in the forest reward hikers with beautiful views of Ross Lake and the surrounding landscape. Keep an eye out for local wildlife—you may even spot frogs and other wetland species along the way.
Rainmaker Trail is especially enjoyable for those who appreciate quiet nature walks and don't mind a bit of mud or moisture underfoot. With sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing, it's a wonderful destination in any season, particularly on misty or rainy days when the forest feels at its most vibrant and alive.
