Visit Terrace

There's a certain quiet that settles over Terrace this time of year. Golden trails on Ferry Island, fresh snow showing up on the peaks, and the Skeena rolling slow and steady through it all.

No crowds. No rush. Just leaves underfoot and a valley easing into fall.

Where are you headed this weekend?

The Northern Pikeminnow Derby is back at Waterlily Bay Resort, September 18 to 20. $10 entry and details below. 🎣

SO LONG, SUCKERS! The Northern Pikeminnow Derby is BACK!

Join us at Waterlily Bay Resort on Lakelse Lake, September 18–20, for a weekend of fishing, friendly competition and a little good old-fashioned lake conservation.

The annual So Long Suckers! Northern Pikeminnow Derby is more than just an excuse to grab your tackle box and hit the water. Northern pikeminnow prey on young salmon fry and smolt, and helping manage their population is one way anglers can contribute to supporting Lakelse Lake's ecosystem.

Entry is just $10.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler who knows every corner of Lakelse Lake or you simply want an excuse to spend a September weekend on the water, come join the fun.

Bring your fishing buddies. Bring the family. Bring your best fishing stories.
And, most importantly...
Bring on the suckers!

Need a place to stay for derby weekend? Contact Waterlily Bay Resort for accommodation information, rates and availability.

September 18–20

Entry Fee: $10

Get those rods ready. We'll see you on the lake!

The guided Tseax Lava Cone Tour runs just twice more in 2026: Wednesday, August 26 and Wednesday, September 2, both 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM.

This is a walk into the site of the most recent volcanic eruption in Canada. Around 250 years ago the Tseax cone sent lava down the Nass Valley, burying two villages and taking the lives of roughly 2,000 Nisg̱a'a people.

Nisg̱a'a Memorial Lava Bed Park is a memorial as much as it is a park, and it was the first park in BC to be jointly managed by a First Nation and BC Parks. The cone itself can only be reached on a guided tour, which makes these two dates the whole season.

Before you go: It's a 4-hour hike and solid footwear, water and food are a must 📍 Meet your guide and BC Parks staff at the Lava Cone Trail highway turn-off, 79 km north of Terrace. You're responsible for getting yourself from the turn-off to the trailhead and AWD/4WD strongly recommended

Cost: Adults (18+): $55 Youth (10–18): $30 Kids 10 & under: free Nisg̱a'a residents: free

Email [email protected] to reserve your spot.
Private tours can be arranged too.
Pay by credit or debit at the Nisga'a Visitor Centre before 9:30 AM the day of your tour, or in cash at the Cone Trail highway pullout.

Questions? Give us a shout at the Visitor Centre: 250-635-4944. We're happy to help you plan the drive.
