Longworth comprises scattered houses in a settlement between Sinclair Mills and Penny on the northeast side of the Fraser River in central British Columbia. Containing less than 15 permanent residents, a community hall, and former schoolhouse housing the post office, the location is a jumping-off point for outdoor recreational activities.
