Spruce Lake Backpackers Lodge, outside of Gold Bridge BC in the Chilcotin Mountains.

"Accessible by foot, bike, horse back or float plane, Spruce Lake Park Backpackers Lodge is set in the beautiful Chilcotin Mountains. "Chilcotin" is a Native American name meaning "People of the Blue Water" and during your stay, you can explore the glacier fed lakes and streams as the First Nations, early explorers, pioneers and gold miners did.

Based from a historic lodge cabin or a walk-about tent cabin, you can take fully guided or self-guided tours and watch for bears, eagles, mountain goats, or fish, boat or canoe, see 50 million year-old fossils or admire a spectacular array of wild flowers.

Chilcotin Holidays is able to provide guides for horse back trips, arrange boat, canoe or fishing gear rentals as well as meals at Spruce Lake Park Backpackers Lodge. For more information, you can call 250-238-2274 or email adventures@chilcotinholidays.com."
