100 Mile House

This small community dates back to the early pioneer days when it was called "Bridge Creek", a rest stop on the fur trade route north.

Located in the heart of the Cariboo, it's name comes from the gold rush days when a stagecoach stop was set up to refresh travellers 100 miles form "Mile 0" at Lillooet. Although the original roadhouse is no longer standing, the area remains an important service centre for the South Cariboo and is a welcome stop for travelers on the Cariboo Highway 97.

Home to some of the world's finest cross country ski trails, it's no wonder that the annual 50 km Cariboo Marathon attracts almost 1,000 participants annually (first week of February).

Summertime brings camping and fishing enthusiasts to the hundreds of lakes in the surrounding area.

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