The British Columbia Highway 113 is also known as the Nisga'a Highway . It is located in the west of the Canadian province of British Columbia , where it begins at Terrace as a junction from Highway 16 and ends in Gingolx (English Kincolith) on the Pacific coast . The highway has a length of 174 km.

The highway itself has its own signage with a logo that is based on the Indian culture. The main difference, in addition to the different color scheme, is that the coat of arms of British Columbia on the upper edge of the shield has been replaced by an indigenous logo. The highway leads through the Indian reservations of the Nisga'a , and the numbering also has references to the Nisga'a culture: 113 years after the first negotiations between the chiefs at the time, the Nisga'a Treaty was signed in 2000.

The highway begins west of Terrace and heads north past the western outskirts. It leads along the valley of the Kitsumkalum River , past the lakes Trestum Lake and Kitsumkalum Lake.
