The future Capital of BC...or so many thought in the 1860's. In those days, "Quesnellemouth" was the gateway to the goldfields, and the jumping off spot of the last section of the Gold Rush Trail - and it still is! Today, Quesnel is the key service centre for travellers in the region.
Quesnel offers visitors the perfect combination of rural charm and quiet city sophistication. Before a night out at the Billy Barker Casino, shop the variety of stores in our two shopping malls or our vibrant downtown core. Take a slow stroll along the Riverfront Trail System or have a relaxing drink on a patio at one of our many pubs. See the Quesnel and District Museum & Archives, one of the 10 best museums in BC or take a drive up to the Pinnacles Provincial Park and enjoy looking at the whole city in a breathtaking, panoramic view. Bring your camera.
