Tumbler Ridge, Mining district municipality in Peace River Regional District, Canada

Tumbler Ridge is a municipality in northeastern British Columbia located near where the Murray River and Flatbed Creek meet. The landscape includes hiking trails that connect to natural sites, provincial parks, and Kinuseo Falls in the adjacent Monkman Provincial Park.

The provincial government established this municipality in 1981 as part of a coal development project to support mining in the region. Its founding was tied to economic development plans for the northeast.

The Peace Region Paleontology Research Center displays dinosaur fossils discovered locally, revealing the ancient past of this place. Visitors can see what creatures once lived in this region.

Visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions due to the higher elevation and temperature fluctuations. The hiking trails require average fitness and offer different difficulty levels.

The region was home to Sekani, Dunneza, and Cree peoples for thousands of years before becoming a modern municipality. These roots continue to shape the place's identity and heritage.
