905 Main Street - Stewart, BC
Stewart is a unique and scenic northern British Columbia community located at the head of the Portland Canal, a spectacular coastal fjord surrounded by the rugged Coast Mountains and extensive glacier systems. The community is connected to the rest of northwest BC by Highway 37A, the scenic Glacier Highway, which branches from the Stewart–Cassiar Highway at Meziadin Junction and travels approximately 65 km through dramatic mountain, river and glacier country.
Stewart has a long history tied to mining, forestry, transportation and the coastal resource economy. The surrounding Stewart–Hyder region has been an important gold and silver mining district for more than a century, and renewed mineral exploration continues to contribute to the area's economic story.
The area is particularly attractive to outdoor enthusiasts and visitors seeking spectacular wilderness experiences. Recreation includes fishing, boating, hiking, wildlife viewing, camping, sightseeing and photography, with opportunities to explore Bear Glacier, the surrounding alpine terrain and the renowned Salmon Glacier near Hyder, Alaska. The Portland Canal also provides access to saltwater fishing for species including salmon and halibut, prawns and crab.
Stewart offers the character of a small, remote community while providing essential local services, accommodations, restaurants and visitor amenities. Its combination of dramatic coastal scenery, mining heritage, abundant wildlife and proximity to Alaska gives the area a distinctive appeal for residents, recreational property owners, adventure travellers and investors.
Stewart lies within the Coastal Western Hemlock ecosystem, where the cool, wet climate supports lush coastal rainforest. The surrounding landscape is heavily forested with western hemlock, Sitka spruce, western redcedar, amabilis fir and yellow-cedar, with black cottonwood and red alder also common in valley bottoms and along waterways.
The understory is typically dense and green, featuring salmonberry, blueberry and huckleberry, devil’s club, ferns, thimbleberry and abundant mosses. Along rivers and floodplains, productive forests of Sitka spruce and western hemlock are particularly common.
As elevation increases toward the surrounding Coast Mountains, the dense forest gradually gives way to subalpine vegetation, stunted conifers, alpine shrubs, meadows and eventually exposed rock and glaciers. The result is a remarkably lush landscape at lower elevations, contrasted by rugged alpine terrain above.
Nestled at the head of the Portland Canal along the BC–Alaska border, Stewart offers an exceptional landscape for year-round wilderness recreation. Surrounded by steep coastal mountains, massive glaciers, and deep fjords, the region provides endless opportunities for outdoor adventure.
Glacier viewing and auto-touring are among the area's primary summer attractions. Directly along Highway 37A, visitors encounter Bear Glacier spilling down toward Strohn Lake inside Bear Glacier Provincial Park, making it a dramatic roadside stop for photography. Further north along the mining road past neighboring Hyder, Alaska, lies the iconic Salmon Glacier. As the fifth-largest glacier in Canada accessible by road, it serves as a world-class destination for scenic drives, photography, and high-alpine sight-seeing.
For hikers and trail enthusiasts, the terrain surrounding Stewart ranges from gentle valley walks to grueling mountain climbs. The local estuary boardwalk offers a flat, accessible walk-through coastal wetlands right at the edge of the Portland Canal, making it ideal for birdwatching and scenic views of the fjord. The Rainey Creek Trail loops comfortably around the perimeter of town, while historical routes like the Sluice Box Trail lead deeper into the local forest. Those seeking a serious challenge can tackle the steep switchbacks of the Ore Mountain Trail, which rewards hikers with sweeping panoramas of the valley and ocean inlet.
Water sports, fishing, and wildlife viewing thrive in the warmer months. Ocean kayakers, boaters, and anglers take to the saltwater waters of the Portland Canal for deep-sea salmon and halibut fishing or scenic charter tours. Inland, nearby freshwater spots such as Clements Lake and Meziadin Lake offer peaceful destinations for canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, swimming, camping, and trout fishing. Just minutes across the border at the Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site, visitors can safely watch grizzly and black bears hunt for spawning salmon from an elevated boardwalk during late summer.
When winter arrives, the area transforms into a world-famous destination for backcountry snow sports due to its heavy maritime snowfall and massive alpine terrain. Stewart is a major hub for backcountry snowmobiling, drawing riders to its vast bowls, uncrowded valleys, and deep powder. The surrounding coast mountains also support world-class heli-skiing and ski touring operations, attracting winter sports enthusiasts from around the globe seeking untouched snow in dramatic, steep alpine terrain.
