70 km down the road from the lodge.
Difficult to find, ask for directions before you head out.
DRIFT WOOD BAY/LIZZIE BAY Connector Trail
DRIFT WOOD BAY/LIZZIE BAY Connector Trail
When the water level is not too high, you could walk the DRIFT WOOD BAY/LIZZIE BAY Connector trail, 6 km down the road, that leads you alongside Lillooet Lake for approximately 2 km (easy hike, beautiful views).
Consider hiking Joffre Lakes (the trail head is less than 1 hour drive from the lodge).
The hike up to the top takes approximately 2.5 hours, and you will be rewarded by encountering 3 mountain lakes of emerald green color, embedded in between the most beautiful mountains, glaciers, and forests.
(Make sure you are equipped with hiking boots, sun screen, snacks and water.

Lillooet Lake
Lillooet Lake
Lillooet Lake is rather chilly, as it is a glacier fed lake, but quite a few of our guests do swim in it in summer, when it gets really hot here. It's murky colour results from glacier deposits (clay and pumice). So it is actually good for your skin. If the water levels rise, there may be some sand in the water from the beaches nearby.
And last, but not least, you may try your luck fishing in the lake. To be honest, Lillooet Lake is not known as a fishing Lake, but if you try, where the creeks come in, ideally in a boat or canoe, appr 50 m away from the shore line, you could be successful. Do not rely on it and make sure, you got an alternative for dinner!

You may consider driving up Hwy 99 to LILLOOET. This is supposed to be one of the most scenic drives in Canada. Gorgeous views, open meadows with colourful wild flowers, dramatically shaped mountains, sage brush and lime stone country will be waiting for you to enjoy. Stop at Duffy Lake (1200 m high in the Cayoosh range) on your way. Lillooet is a small town with Gold rush flair. There are a few restaurants where you could have lunch or dinner. Make a point, if you have enough time, to visit SETON LAKE right at the entrance of Lillooet or make a trip to Carpenter Lake. Start early, if you plan on doing all that, as time goes fast. And, last but not least, on your way back, shift down to a lower gear at times and don't hit the brakes too much, when you come down Hwy 99 from Joffre Lakes to the beginning of the In Shuck ch road ( that is where we are). The hill is very steep and your brakes may start smoking. This may be important for the ones among our guests who are not used to automatic transmission.
Again, if you are not sure, please ask for directions.
If you start VERY early, you could drive up the HURLEY PASS which is an incredibly panoramic drive through no man's land, accessible by way of our beautiful Pemberton Valley. There may be wolves living up there. This tour takes a few hours to visit BRALORNE and GOLD BRIDGE, and SETON PORTAGE, historic mining and gold rush towns. You could make a loop and come back by way of Lillooet. Again, start very early, and bring lunch, water, sunscreen, etc... as there will not be any possibility of buy food and drink until you are in Lillooet. (make sure you have enough fuel...).
If you do not want to drive so far, but still want to do some exploring up the Pemberton Valley, you could visit the Keyhole Hot Springs (aka Pebble Creek Hot Springs) which are located near the Upper Lillooet FSR) , about 100 km from here. Once you are on the Upper Lillooet FSR, drive until you see the 9 km marker, where there is a turn off to the right (Hurley Pass Road). Do not turn right if you want to go to Keyhole. Keep on driving until you reach 28 km. Follow the instructions posted at the trail head. You have to park your vehicle and hike in approximately 2 km.
