ANAHIM LAKE
Is a small first Nations community, 134 kilometers east of Bella Coola on Highway #20 in British Columbia remote Chilcotin region. It is named after nearby Anahim Peak, Anahim Hotspot and the Anahim Volcanic Belt. Even though, it has been extremely hit hard by the pine beetle infestation that has been sweeping through the forests of the interior of the province. Moreover, because of this, Anahim Lake’s main lumber mill was recently forced to shut down. However, cattle ranching and mushroom farming continue to carry the community on its arms as its main economic benefactors. The only airport in the Chilcotin between Bella Coola and Williams Lake is located in about 2 miles from the village and offers daily flights to Williams Lake and Vancouver. Anahim is the main community that is the gateway to Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, one of British Columbia’s largest Provincial Parks. Anahim Lake is relatively small, but offers services to travelers such as a hotel and 3 general stores.
ANAHIM LAKE’S POPULATION: 729
