Telkwa

Nestled on the banks of the world-renowned Bulkley and Telkwa rivers, our picturesque, historical village of 1,400 residents borders Tyhee Lake Provincial Park. 

Surrounded by snow-capped mountain ranges and a myriad of lakes and streams, Telkwa’s spectacular natural setting offers extensive outdoor adventure and recreational opportunities.  Whether you love to hike into an alpine lake, raft through whitewater rapids, ski down fresh powder slopes or battle the will of a large steelhead, Telkwa has year-round wilderness adventures.  Local sightseeing and adventure tour operators offer world-class hunting and sport fishing, hiking, canoeing, rafting, kayaking, bird watching and wilderness photography explorations.  The adventures continue in the winter with phenomenal ice climbing, cross-country, backcountry and downhill skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and dog sledding.

An extensive walking trail system winds through the original town site of Aldermere and embraces Telkwa’s parks and historical buildings, including the restored 1910 St. Stephen’s Anglican Church and Pioneer Museum.  Many of Telkwa’s historical buildings, including the library, remain as testaments to our past and can be seen with a self-guided walking tour.  Stop by the Museum, on Highway 16 to pick up maps and to learn more about our unique Village.
