Old Hazelton lies 165 km east of Prince Rupert on Highway 16. Old Hazelton was established in 1866 serving as a gateway to British Columbia's north. It was head of navigation for the stern wheelers that plied the waters of the Skeena from Prince Rupert. This frontier town attracted all sorts of character - outlaws, swindlers, eccentrics, and gold seekers.

Old Hazelton retains its frontier atmosphere. A wonderful meal can be obtained from the Trading Post Cafe that is in the old Hudson Bay building. Stepping inside this building takes you back a hundred years with a fine collection of momentos, pictures, and artifacts of Hazelton's early days.
