It’s a 90-minute drive from the Okanagan Valley and a three-hour drive from the Lower Mainland via Hwy 3-Crowsnest Hwy. You can also fly charter or private planes into the Princeton Airport. Princeton is the Bronze Sculpture Capital of Canada with statues of local wildlife throughout town. There are approximately 50 good trout fishing lakes within a 30 mile radius of Princeton.
