|
The town of Williams Lake (586 m / 1923 ft) lies in the center of the Cariboo region. As well as the timber industry, cattle-rearing and mining of copper molybdenum, tourism - with the attractions of fishing and hunting - plays an ever more important role.
In the vicinity of Williams Lake can be found numerous traces of the gold-rush period and the Williams Lake Museum at 1148 Broadway provides information about this. A special attraction is a small reactivated gold-mine.
Each year, on the first week-end in July, one of Canada's larger rodeos, the Williams Lake Stampede, takes place here.
