Lillooet sits on the dry flats of the Fraser River Canyon at the foot of the rugged Coast Mountains. It was here the Governor of the Colony of British Columbia set Mile 0 of the "Cariboo Waggon Road".
Lillooet is the gateway to a mountain adventure playgound. To the east are Pavilion Lake and Historic Hat Creek Ranch. To the west lie Tyaughton Lake, Gold Bridge and the momentous Pioneer-Bralorne goldfields, and the Southern Chilcotin. The spectacular Fraser River Canyon hosts native salmon fishing sites, the Seton salmon spawning channels, numerous sturgeon and ginseng farms.
