the site of one of the earliest roadhouses on the Cariboo
Wagon Road that serviced British Columbia's Cariboo Gold Rush.

tourist services. Try a visit to Centennial Park, one of the
prettiest spots on earth! A great place for a picnic by Bridge
Creek.

fishing enthusiasts to the hundreds of lakes
in the surrounding area. Highway 24, between 93 Mile and Little
Fort is known as "The Fishing Highway" and provides
access to some of the world's best rainbow trout fishing lakes,
