Family Activities in the Robson Valley

Start the day with a family hike along the resort's riverside trails, keeping an eye out for deer, eagles, and other wildlife along the way. Try your hand at gold panning in the river -- kids love the thrill of searching for glittering flakes in their pan. The easy walk to Rearguard Falls is perfect for young hikers and offers a chance to watch salmon leap upstream during the August spawning season. For a longer outing, the Kinney Lake trail in Mount Robson Park is flat, scenic, and suitable for older children.

Use Terracana as your basecamp for exploring the valley. Drive to the Valemount Visitor Centre for interpretive programs and local history exhibits. Visit George Hicks Regional Park to learn about the salmon lifecycle. Pack a picnic and spend the day at Yellowhead Lake or Moose Lake in Mount Robson Provincial Park. For families with teens, whitewater rafting on the Fraser River is an unforgettable experience with guided trips that provide all the gear and instruction needed.
