Discover the Magic of Chilko Lake
Canada’s Hidden Gem in the Heart of the Wilderness
Nestled amidst the rugged beauty of the Coast Mountains, Chilko Lake is a pristine jewel renowned for its breathtaking turquoise waters and unspoiled wilderness. As the largest natural, high-elevation freshwater lake in Canada, it offers visitors unparalleled serenity and awe-inspiring scenery.
Explore the lake’s crystal-clear waters through kayaking, fishing, or paddleboarding, or simply relax along its shores, soaking in the majestic mountain backdrop. The surrounding landscapes are home to diverse wildlife, making Chilko Lake a haven for nature enthusiasts and adventurers alike.
As part of your all-inclusive stay at Nemiah Valley Lodge, we will embark on a journey where you can participate in a wild horse safari where these creatures are a protected population believed to have roamed the area for centuries. These horses, often referred to as the Chilcotin Wild Horses or Brittany Triangle Wild Horses, are part of the rich cultural and ecological heritage of the region, closely tied to the traditions of the Xeni Gwet'in First Nation.
