Description

ABOUT GRANISLE

The small town of Granisle, population approximately including Granisle and area 400-450, is located on the shores of 180 km (110 miles) long Babine Lake, 49 km (30 miles) north of Highway #16 from Topley and within an hour and a half of a major airport and connection to Vancouver. This is where the real attractions of the countryside west of Prince George can be seen. Granisle is a retirement and recreational community offering many services and clubs including a library, post office, medical centre, elementary and secondary school, and RCMP Station. Clubs include Lions Club, Dart Club, Rod & Gun Club, Curling Club and Cross Country Ski Club.

Babine Lake offers prime fishing and boating plus providing a perfect setting for all manner of water sports. The surrounding forested area provides plenty of opportunity for hiking, hunting, camping and any number of outdoor adventures. The advent of winter does not bring the community to a standstill; a variety of winter activities from cross country skiing to ice fishing and snowmobiling keep residents and visitors busy.

One of the most spectacular natural wonders close to the village is the sockeye salmon returning to spawn in the nearby Fulton River Spawning Channels. Along with the salmon you may be fortunate enough to get a glimpse of a bald eagle or grizzly bear feeding at the river.
