Clinton Attractions

|
Clinton (887 m (2912 ft)), originally called "47 Mile House", was an important traffic junction during the Cariboo gold-rush. In 1861 a road led from here via Pavilion Mountain to Lillooet; today it is a gravel road usable only in summer. Clinton has so far retained the atmosphere of a pioneering town, and a number of the "19th c.-type" ranches take in paying guests.
At 1419 Cariboo Highway stands the old brick-built schoolhouse dating from 1892; today it houses the South Cariboo Historical Museum. Its exhibits reflect the pioneering period and the old Waggon Road. The many lakes in the vicinity are very popular with anglers.
