AREA DATA
The Chilcotin is one of British Columbia’s last truly untamed regions—a landscape defined by vast ranchlands, rolling grasslands, timbered forests, volcanic plateaus, and endless wilderness.  Known for its deep ranching roots, strong outdoor culture, and wide-open spaces, the region attracts those looking for privacy, recreation, and a connection to the land.  From cattle operations and horse country to world-class hunting, fishing, and backcountry adventure, the Chilcotin embodies the rugged spirit of rural Western Canada.

Located west of Williams Lake along Highway 20, the small community of Chilanko Forks sits at the confluence of the Chilcotin and Chilanko Rivers.  Surrounded by Crown land, lakes, forests, and wildlife habitat, the area is popular with outdoorsmen, ranchers, and recreational property owners seeking a quieter pace of life.  The region offers excellent fishing, hunting, horseback riding, and backcountry access, while still providing a sense of community and gateway access deeper into the West Chilcotin.

RECREATION

Recreation in the Chilcotin and Chilanko Forks area is centered around the region’s vast wilderness, extensive Crown land access, and abundance of lakes, rivers, and backcountry terrain.  The area is well known for exceptional hunting opportunities, including mule deer, moose, black bear, and waterfowl, drawing outdoorsmen from across Western Canada.  Fishing is equally popular, with nearby lakes and river systems offering trout fishing in a remote and scenic setting.

The surrounding landscape provides endless opportunities for horseback riding, ATVing, snowmobiling, hiking, and backcountry exploration.  With thousands of acres of accessible wilderness, the region appeals to those seeking an authentic outdoor lifestyle away from urban congestion.  Nearby Crown land and forestry roads create direct access into some of British Columbia’s most rugged and untouched country, making the area a year-round destination for recreation and adventure.
