Dawson Creek be best known for being Mile "0" of the Alaskan Highway beginning in Dawson Creek and ending in Fairbank, Alaska and was completed in 1943.

This arch is at the entrance to the Dawson Creek Trail, a network of trails that follows Dawson Creek.

The paved 4.5 kilometre Dawson Trail is administered by the Parks, Trails & Sports Fields department of the City of Dawson Creek. It meanders along Dawson Creek through mostly undeveloped land with benches, tables, gardens and picnic areas along its length. Each end of the Dawson Trail connects with the 23,000 kilometre long Great Trail, AKA the Trans Canada Trail (TCT), the world's longest hiking/biking/walking trail. From its eastern end the TCT proceeds northeast into Alberta, while from its western ends the TCT follows the Alaska Highway northwest through northern British Columbia and into The Yukon.

A four season trail, it is used by walkers, joggers, bikers and roller bladers through the spring and summer and into the fall, then taken over by cross country skiers and snowshoers when the snow begins to fall.
