| Grand
Trunk Pathway is a well landscaped
paved walkway lining up alongside Hwy 16 starting in the south-end
near Eby Street and ending at Kalum Lake Drive. The 1.6 kilometre
path is used regularly by locals for roller blading, walking and
jogging. The walkway is 50 feet wide in most areas and is lit
up at night for evening use.
The Grand Trunk Pathway is lined
with viewing benches, a gazebo (with fountain in summer months),
Spirit Bears (large painted bear sculptures depicting the culture
of BC, Canada), a memorial dedicated to loggers lost and a decommissioned
railway car housing the Miniature Train Association exhibits.
On the west-end of the pathway, one can continue
a short distance to Fisherman's
Park for some sightseeing of marine operators unloading
their boats or to enjoy a picnic. Or, if one follows Eby Street
north they will connect with the Heritage
Walking Trail and the Howe
Creek Trail.
The walkway is heavily used by all for recreation
and as a transportation route to and from downtown. The pathway
is literally, only, 1 block south of all the major Terrace commercial
stores and retail shops.
Contact information for
the local Terrace, BC accommodations, tours, guides, golf
courses, attractions, eco activities, artists, transportation
companies, realtors, etc. are posted under the links listed
to your right. |
