About Goldeneye Lake
Perched in a spruce forest immediately above the picturesque alpine town of Smithers in northwestern BC.
Winter: The Nordic Centre is renowned for excellent snow conditions and a lengthy ski season, due to a) elevation and b) location in a snowbelt area between BC's cold interior and damp coastal climates. The Bulkley Valley Nordic Centre features a 45-km network of trails through sheltered spruce and pine forest. Every trail is groomed for both classic and skate skiing and maintained regularly with state-of-the art grooming equipment. The trails are well-marked and range from fairly flat with a few gentle slopes, to challenging routes with steep climbs and hairpin turns. FEES APPLY TO WINTER USE OF TRAILS.
Summer: The 45km trail network hosts abundant opportunity for hiking, biking, and nature study. Specifically, there is the Nature Trail, a marked route to and around Goldeneye Lake.
