100 Mile House is famous for being the Handcrafted Log Home Capital of North America, hosting the World’s Largest Cross Country Skis, and being 100 miles from Lillooet! Our community was part of the historic Gold Rush to Barkerville during the late 1800s. Depending on the season, you can experience Cariboo life: Dog Sled Races, Snowmobile events, Cross Country Skiing, Snowshoeing, Festival of the Arts, Gymnastic Tournaments, Rodeos, Fishing Derbies, Square Dancing Jamboree, Back to the 50s Show & Shine, Garlic Festival, Fairs, Concerts, and much much more. From where you are or will be standing, you will view the 100 Mile House Airstrip, a Ducks Unlimited Wildlife Sanctuary, the South Cariboo Visitor Centre, and the Recreation Complex. From Highway 97 and a short two blocks east is where the local shops are located, service centre to an area population of 20,000. The quaint charm of the unique shops will meet your shopping needs and desires. Our restaurants range from international cuisine to home-style cooking. Centennial Park, our hidden jewel is perfect for families and children to stretch weary traveling legs or have a quiet picnic. The park is the host of a handful of geocaches. A definite must! Enjoy a short meandering walk along Bridge Creek to
a waterfall. The vast area known as the South Cariboo stretches from Clinton in the south, east to Lac des Roche, west to the Fraser River and north to about 140 Mile House.

Throughout the South Cariboo, you will find pockets of geocaches waiting for you! South of town (1.6 km) you will find the Community Demonstration Forest used by hikers, bikers, snowmobilers, and home of the 100 Mile Nordics Ski Club. North of 100 Mile House will take you to the 108 Mile Ranch with 2 lakes and an excellent 10 km walking and biking circuit and the home of the 108 Heritage Site and Museum. Lac La Hache offers camping, water sports and hosts Mt. Timothy Ski Area offering downhill skiing for all abilities. West of 100 Mile House, a 30-45 minute drive, is a great wilderness in Moose Valley Provincial Park, ideal for canoeing and wildlife. East of town is notorious as “lake country”, full of resorts, B&B's and guest ranches, perfect for boating and fishing.
