Lillooet has a lot to offer in addition to its mountain views and great camping locations. Here are a few places to see and explore while you’re spending time in Lillooet.
A self-guided tour of Lillooet’s most historical locations. What was once a gold-rush epicentre is now a small town loaded with history.
Lillooet’s first winery, Fort Berens Estate, opened in 2009. The estate covers 65 acres, and has a tasting room that’s open year-round.
The Lillooet REC Centre has the usual amenities with the addition of a climbing wall and bouldering gym, catering services, squash court and a 25-metre long, six-lane pool.
Part of Marble Canyon Provincial Park, Pavilion Lake hosts exciting activities like fishing and scuba diving. The lake’s recorded depth is 65 meters, and it is home to some of the world’s only microbialites (a type of coral-like structure believed to be one of the oldest on earth). NASA has teamed up with the University of British Columbia to study these formations, so diving is only allowed in certain areas of the lake to avoid disrupting any scientific monitoring technology.
The market runs every Friday morning at 8:30 a.m. from May to October. Fresh produce and unique handmade items are available for sale. Grass-fed B.C. beef is available biweekly.
