WILDERNESS ADVENTURES

Wilderness Adventures

Elysia Resort, Quesnel Lake, BC
In the Cariboo Mountains

Nature & History

Wilderness adventures abound in the pristine and remote Quesnel Lake Watershed. This is a place of both stunning beauty and fascinating history. For example, visit waterfalls, ancient cedar rainforests, and miles of sandy beaches. On the way, you could encounter mountain goats, bears, moose, deer, river otter, eagles and many types of water birds.

Relive the 1860’s Cariboo Gold Rush. Start with a visit to the community of Horsefly, 42 km from us. There you will find amenities lake a grocery store, gas station, art gallery, museum, pub and cafe. During the gold rush this was the site of Harper’s Camp. In the fall, it’s also a great place to witness spawning Sockeye Salmon! Nearby, explore Quesnel Forks, a gold rush ghost town on the Quesnel River, that quietly stands today much as it did back in the mid 1800s.

NATURE'S AMAZING SPECTACLE

SPAWNING SALMON

The Quesnel Lake Watershed has one of BC’s largest Sockeye salmon runs. In the autumn, the salmon return to spawn in our streams and lakes. A female lays between 2,500 and 8,000 eggs. Yet, only about one out of every two to four thousand eggs hatches, reaches maturity and returns to its spawning grounds from the ocean, a 750+ km journey from the mouth of the Fraser River. Come witness their amazing return!
