Riske Creek

This first small community you arrive at, Riske Creek is situated about 52 km (32 mi.) west of Williams Lake, and is the gateway to a vast number of adventures in the Chilcotin.

Although the earliest activity in the area was trading, the 1860's saw cattle ranchers arrive. The village of Riske Creek is the site of one of the earliest ranches in the area owned by a Polish gentleman, L.W. Riskie. Ranching and logging remain as the main industries of the area. With the amenities such as gas, lodgings and general store available this is the ideal spot to begin a Chilcotin adventure.

The history of the area can be relived in the summer Riske Creek Rodeo and Frontier Days, while modern day sites and adventures can begin at this spot.
