Surrounded by the Itcha and Ilgachuz Mountains, the dramatic Rainbow Mountains, as well as glaciers, icefields, pristine lakes and dramatic waterfalls, the Anahim Lake/Nimpo Lake region offers superb wilderness adventures.
Nimpo Lake, about 75km (47mi) west of Tatla Lake, is known as the “Float Plane Capital of BC”, as it is a major departure point for float plane sightseeing and fishing trips to remote locations like the Blackwater River, Dean River, Hunlen Falls and Tweedsmuir Park. Anglers stay in fly-in camps and cast out on some world-famous, pristine wilderness lakes.
West of Anahim Lake, Tweedsmuir Provincial Park is home to the awe-inspiring volcanic Rainbow Range, the glacier-capped Coast Mountains as well as alpine meadows and one of Canada’s highest waterfalls.
Visitors can hike or horseback ride along historic and scenic backcountry trails, sharing the landscape with abundant wildlife from grizzly bears and Bighorn sheep to caribou.
Paddlers can glide along a six lake canoe circuit or challenge Class IV rapids while river rafting through a narrow lava gorge.
In winter, this scenic area offers snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
Area population ranges from 1200 people in winter to some 1500 people in summer.
