Anahim Lake

Anahim Lake lies along the Chilcotin Plateau near its namesake lake, where open grasslands, pine forest and wetlands define British Columbia’s high interior west of the Cariboo. The settlement stands on Highway 20, the route running from Williams Lake across the plateau toward Bella Coola on the central coast; its services matter along this long, sparsely settled road. Anahim Lake is also the main community of the Ulkatcho First Nation, a Dakelh-speaking Indigenous nation whose territory reaches across this part of the central interior. The wider region includes the Anahim Volcanic Belt, a reminder of the plateau’s geological origins.
