Top attractions in and around Moricetown

Take the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and learn about First Nations culture

The community of Moricetown is a Wet'suwet'en village situated 30 kilometres west of Smithers, B.C. There are ample activities to be enjoyed here, as well as cultural and historical points of interest. You can set up your RV at the Moricetown RV Site and Campgrounds, and head off from there to see why this area is so exciting.

1. The Moricetown Interpretive Centre and Museum

The Moricetown Band members are proud of their heritage, so they welcome visitors to come to this centre and learn all about local history. The Moricetown Interpretive Centre and Museum is located just off of Highway 16 in Moricetown, and guests can participate in daily programs, guided or self-guided tours, and events that take place throughout the year.

2. Moricetown Canyon

This breathtaking natural site has a pull-out and rest areas, where you will be met with a stellar view of the canyon and the famous Bulkley River (a location of great significance and tradition for the Wet'suwet'en First Nation). The most popular activity here is fishing, which is best enjoyed between late June and mid-July, when the salmon runs are most prolific. You can still fish for other varieties in August, however. Be aware that non-First Nations fishing is only permitted at a location downstream from the canyon, and a day pass for this must be purchased from the Moricetown Band.

3. Moricetown Ice Tower

If you are one of those RVers who travels year-round, we urge you to visit Moricetown in winter. Why? Because you can climb the 50-foot Moricetown Ice Tower. This is one of only three ice towers in North America. It is located on the grounds of the Icount High School, where there is also an outdoor skating rink, a quonset hut for changing and a kitchen where students sell refreshments.
