Welcome to the end of the Road to Nehimiah. Congratulations on making it through these five caches. If you have time enjoy camping here and taking in the beautiful lake and scenery. This campground is part of the larger Ts’ilʔos Park and I've actually got another cache located at the campground on the north side of this lake. If you are going to camp here please check ahead and make sure the park is open and attended. When I came here in February the gates were locked and I had to hike into the campground. The local band store has fuel and a selection of food stuffs/camping supplies. There are quite a few lodges/inns in the area that are also available. For those wanting to continue on caching feel free to grab Road to Nehimiah #6 Beyond the Road
This cache is an ammo crate with camping/hiking swag and a FTF prize.
Nu Chugh Beniz Campground
Ts’ilʔos (pronounced “sigh-loss”) Park comprises rugged mountains, clear blue lakes, glaciers, alpine meadows, and waterfalls. It is bordered by the rugged peaks of the coast mountains to the west, and the dry interior plateau to the east. The diversity and contrast in landscapes and vegetation are a result of a rainshadow effect on the east side of the mountains. While the northern and eastern portions of the park are relatively dry, the south end of Chilko Lake is characterized by moist areas of the coastal western hemlock zone.
The park was established in February of 1994 as a wilderness area set aside to protect vegetation, wildlife and fish habitats, cultural values, and special features.
The diverse ecosystems in the park remain largely undisturbed by human activity, making this park an ecologically significant area in the province. Chilko Lake, the largest, natural high-elevation freshwater lake in Canada, dominates the park.
Stunningly beautiful, due to its blue-green hues and dramatic mountain backdrops, Chilko Lake is popular with boaters, kayakers, and anglers. Backcountry hiking and camping is also a cornerstone of the recreational opportunities offered by this remote park.
This cache is placed within a BC provincial park and was placed following the guidelines set out by BC Parks.
