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

Tumbler Ridge sits at 830 meters elevation near the Murray River and Flatbed Creek intersection in northeastern British Columbia, spanning 1,558 square kilometers.

The provincial government established Tumbler Ridge in 1981 as part of the Northeast Coal Development project to support regional mining operations.

The Peace Region Paleontology Research Center, established in 2003, documents the numerous dinosaur fossils discovered throughout the surrounding territory.

The municipality maintains a network of hiking trails connecting to natural sites, provincial parks, and Kinuseo Falls in the adjacent Monkman Provincial Park.

Archaeological evidence indicates human presence in the region for 3,000 years, with Sekani, Dunneza, and Cree groups inhabiting the land.
