About This Trail

Jackpine Wetland Interpretive Trail is an easy walking trail located near Jackpine Flats, southeast of Terrace. The trail passes through a natural wetland surrounded by a mixture of mature second-growth and old-growth forest, with interpretive signs highlighting the area's rich ecosystem. A viewpoint provides panoramic views across the wetland toward Thornhill Mountain and Copper Mountain. The trail is designed for walking and is accessible to strollers and walkers.
