Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Fort St. James National Historic Site adventure.
Step back in time at Fort St. James National Historic Site.
Travel back to 1896 when wealth was measured in fur pelts and salmon, the natural bounty bartered by the Carrier First Nations and European fur traders at Fort St. James. Tour Canada’s largest collection of wooden buildings faithfully restored to the fur trade era. Spend the night in the historic Murray house warmed by a wood stove and memories of the family who lived here more than a century ago.
The best time to visit Fort St. James National Historic Site is from May 18 to September 1, when the site is fully operational from 9am to 5pm. The winter months offer a quieter experience, with self-guided walks and tours by appointment, showcasing the site's serene beauty amid the snow.
