The Lillooet
River
More Pictures
This is truly an adventure destination. Accessed by jet boat from the
Harrison River/Lake system, this is a unique opportunity to fish a
remote location with excellent Dolly Varden and Cutthroat Trout fishing.
Salmon do travel to these waters and can present a sudden and exciting
change. This is a trip for those looking for something different.
The Lillooet River is 90 miles or 145 km long
and originates with melt-water from the Lillooet Glacier high in the coast
mountains north of Vancouver. It flows south and east past the towns of
Pemberton
and
Mount Currie,
to empty into the north end of
Harrison Lake.
A widening of the river near Pemberton forms Lillooet Lk (35.3 sq km). The lower
river valley from Harrison Lake north is steeped in our local history and was
part of the
Douglas Road
to the
Interior, used between 1858 and 1862. This road was named after one of our more
colourful and controversial Governors, Sir James Douglas. This road was the
principle means of traveling to the Interior Gold Rush until a new road through
the Fraser River Canyon was cut.
