Lac La Hache

The small, friendly community of Lac La Hache BC describes itself as the “Longest Town in the Cariboo”. Highway 97 skirts the entire 18-kilometre shoreline of this beautiful lake in its rolling Fraser Plateau setting, which has many fishing lodges, guest ranches and vacation homes sprinkled along its perimeter.

The lake is well known for its kokanee fishing as well as its trophy size lake trout. During the summer months, the Lac La Hache area attracts anglers, boats, swimmers, and water skiers. Many resorts, offering camping and cabins are located on the lakeshore, as well as a British Columbia Provincial Campground.
