Next to the Stewart Visitor Centre is our local estuary and boardwalk. Starting from 5th Avenue and stretching 805 meters (278 feet) across the tide flats to Highway 37A that connects us to Hyder, AK, enjoy a beautiful walk full of breathtaking views, interesting bird species and plants. With the many conveniently located picnic tables and garbage disposals, it is also the perfect spot to rest after hiking, or have a picnic and just take in the scenery.
