Northern Sunrise County
Northern Sunrise County is a history buff’s dream. Its Indigenous population has inhabited the area for millennia, the early Europeans set up a fur trading post at what is now the Town of Peace River, and a wave of pioneering settlers soon followed.
See historical farmhouses and granaries as you drive by (but no trespassing without permission), visit important historical sites like the 12 Foot Davis Gravesite, attend the Peace River Powwow, or hike the Pat’s Creek Trail. With parks for the kids (check out the bouncy pillow at Cecil Thompson Park) and sports like snowmobiling and rodeo for the adults, we have fun for the whole family. Be sure to pick up a sweet souvenir while you’re here — we’re famous for our honey!
