Pidherny Recreation Site

The Pidherny Recreation Site welcomes mountain biking, hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing. It is a network of trails just north of Prince George with a mix of beginner to advanced trails. Mountain bikers will find both natural and man-made technical features. There are two parking lots: Foothills Blvd (Upper Lot) and Pidherny Road (Lower Lot).

Ridge Trail / Lookout Access

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Ridge Trail/Lookout Access is also known as the Bench Trail, and it passes through forests of spruce, balsam fir, and poplars. There are also larch trees that light up golden in the fall. In the winter this hike is also nice but can get quite icy and slick in shaded spots. The whole trail is deep in woods until reaching the gorgeous Nechako Ridge.

Nechako Ridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nechako Ridge is a break in the trees with a lovely viewpoint over the Nechako River and the valley below. The viewpoint faces southwest, the perfect spot to watch the sun set behind the mountains. There is a bench here large enough to fit two or three people, and there are a handful of one-person benches, basically wooden chairs attached to the trees.
