The Peace River is popular with fossil hunters – fossilized shark teeth and prehistoric mammal bones can be found in the river’s gravel – and it’s a great place to canoe and kayak. After launching your canoe, kayak or small boat from the Heritage Peace River Landing, you can enjoy swamps, pine flatwoods, hardwood hammocks and marshes.
