Cariboo - Cariboo

BC Parks - Cariboo Camping

The Cariboo offers laid back trout lakes like Big Bar Lake and Downing. Or you can point the wagon towards summer fun destinations like Green Lake, Ten Mile Lake, Lac la Hache and Bridge Lake - in BC's own version of cottage country. On the Chilcotin side, South Tweedsmuir is one of BC's last truly great wilderness areas, with enough access points to make it worth the trip for even the average outdoor enthusiast. Tweedsmuir provides the mountain gateway to Bella Coola, a true coastal rainforest paradise with salmon filled inlets and trout filled streams.
