One of the prettiest places to go fo
r a weekend of camping, especially in the fall, is the Sukunka River, about an hour and a half west of Dawson Creek.
We went in early October when the fall leaves were at their colorful peak. We found a great place to camp a short distance from the road that is right on the banks of the river.
The Sukunka is also well known for some great waterfalls. They are beautiful and easy to get to as well.
Getting to the Sukun
ka is a bit of an adventure itself because all traffic must share the road with coal trucks going back and forth. The road is radio controlled, so the best thing to do is wait for a truck going the same way you are and get in behind it. Stop when it stops and go when it goes.
The Sukunka is in bear country so it's really important to be smart. We are very careful with our garbage and cooking methods and very watchful as well.
The fishing is great! The river is awesome and the setting is spectacular! A real favorite!
