The newest attraction in theBoundary Country is the
Trapping Creek Discovery Tour.
Come and explore three trails that demonstrate the efforts to restore a rainbow trout habitat in Trapping Creek. Three self-guided discovery trails inform visitors of fish and trees, the future of fish and forestry and land use history. Notice boulders and huge logs placed into the creek to form natural habitats as you walk along the stream in beautiful surroundings.

The development is an effort by Pope & Talbot – Boundary Timber Division – of Midway, BC, the company holding the tree farm license on the property. A stream restoration project turned educational; providing an interpretive tourist attraction. Trail guide folders, corresponding to markers all along the trail, are available at the site. Visitors can spend their time following the tour and take as long as they want to enjoy the natural beauty and wild life. (Allow yourself at least one hour to discover all three trails.)
This is very educational for children and adults alike.

Trail#1 Fish and Trees
Trapping Creek originates on the Big White Mountain and the spring rushing waters tumble stones and trees downstream. See the tress and embankments; notice the pools for fish and the newly rooted trees planted by foresters to hold the embankment.

Trail #2 Future of Fish & Forestry
You can clearly see the renewal of the creek. Logs have been placed strategically to steer the stream toward the opposite shore. This will help to keep the channel deep and narrow for fish. Over-hanging shrubs provide cover while helping to maintain cool water temperatures during summer.

Trail #3 Land Use History
The abundant surface water in this part of the valley bottom has created a wetland environment and ideal habitat for various wildlife species. See an entire gravel bar planted with willow cuttings. Notice the Alder trees growing. Ideal conditions will quickly turn the seedlings into trees for shade, nitrogen and fertilizers.
