March 13, 2026, Rushbrook Trail

The Rushbrook Trail is a short, but dramatic trail with amazing views over the water. The trail mostly runs along old rail lines and over purpose built footbridges. Being mostly flat it's suitable for most ability levels and a good option for families visiting Prince Rupert.

The Kwinitsa Station Railway Museum is located in a lovely setting, in Rotary Waterfront Park facing the sea. It is housed in a small, old white station, one of hundreds that once lined this railway.
