Car Travel It's easy for visitors to explore Vanderhoof's small downtown area by foot, but to experience the natural beauty of the area and numerous recreational activities, a private vehicle is best. The backroads south of town are accessible but drivers can easily get lost. Make sure to bring a good map and pay careful attention to the road connections. Also, keep an eye out for logging trucks as roadways are still active. Car rentals are available in Prince George. Public Transportation Both Greyhound and VIA Rail travel through Vanderhoof on route from Prince George to Prince Rupert.
Air Travel Vanderhoof Airport has three landing strips but no commercial flights. Visitors with their own aircraft or those who want to book aerial tours or charter flights will find it convenient. A few companies offer charter service locally – either in helicopters, floatplanes, or other small airplanes. Many visitors fly to Prince George then rent a car and drive to Vanderhoof. Various airlines, including Air Canada and Central Mountain Air, fly to and through Prince George connecting to other parts of the province, including Vancouver several times a day. Stop by the Vanderhoof Visitor Centre on Burrard Avenue, a block from Highway 16, for more directions and various maps of the area.
