Donald Landing is a community in Range 5 Coast Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Donald Landing is located at 54.4833°N, 125.6500°W.

Donald Landing sits nestled where the dense, evergreen embrace of the coastal mountains begins to soften, yielding to the wide, often slate-grey expanse of the Skeena River. It lies 29.1 km north-north-east of Burns Lake, BC (from Burns Lake, BC: bearing 15°T), and is situated 5.5 km south-east of Pendleton Bay. The land here is a study in contrasts: steep, forested slopes plunge towards the water's edge, their dark green canopies occasionally broken by the brighter green of alder groves that cling to the more accessible benches. The air, particularly in the early morning, carries the sharp, clean scent of pine needles and damp earth, a fragrance that seems to seep into the very bones of the place. Small clearings, carved out over generations, reveal weathered cabins and the occasional sturdy farmhouse, their roofs often dusted with the fine, silver mist that frequently descends from the higher peaks. The rhythm of Donald Landing is dictated by the river's flow and the seasons' turning, a quiet existence lived against a backdrop of immense natural beauty. The history of Donald Landing is intimately tied to the bounty and challenges of the Skeena River, a vital artery for both Indigenous peoples for millennia and later for the fur traders and prospectors who ventured into these remote territories. Early economic life revolved around fishing and logging, industries that still hold a quiet significance, though their footprint has lessened. The echoes of past endeavours can be glimpsed in the occasional rusting piece of machinery half-swallowed by the undergrowth or the faint, moss-covered outlines of old logging roads winding into the hills. While no grand institutions mark its landscape, Donald Landing possesses a distinct character, forged by the resilience of its inhabitants and their deep connection to the wild, untamed beauty of this corner of British Columbia. The quiet hum of everyday life is punctuated by the cry of gulls and the distant rumble of a tugboat navigating the broad, powerful current of the Skeena.
