One of those "pinch me" moments on the river.

When the scenery stops you in your tracks and you can’t believe what’s right in front of you. The Smoky and Peace Rivers are full of those moments where the views are bigger, wilder, and more breathtaking than you imagined.

Welcome to the Peace Region!

The river isn’t just home to incredible scenery—it’s also home to an amazing variety of wildlife. From eagles soaring overhead to deer, bears, and other wildlife along the shoreline, you never know what you might spot on your river adventure.

Keep your eyes open, give wildlife plenty of space, and enjoy the view!
