Fort Fraser

Fort Fraser lies at the eastern end of Fraser Lake, where its outlet becomes the Nechako River amid the conifer forests and gently rolling terrain of British Columbia’s Nechako Plateau. The community takes its name from a fur-trade post established here by Simon Fraser in 1806 for the North West Company, one of the region’s early trading outposts. Highway 16 and the CN rail line now connect Fort Fraser with settlements across central British Columbia, while Fraser Lake remains important for fishing and boating. The setting is rural and spacious, with long northern winters followed by a summer season shaped by water and forest.
