Gun Lake is the jewel of the Bridge River Valley, renowned for its incredibly clear, turquoise waters fed by glacial streams. This premier recreation destination is just a short drive away from the community of Gold Bridge, which acts as the local service hub. Here, you will find essential daily amenities including a grocery and hardware store, a library, fuel, and the historic local hotel and pub. For medical needs and larger supply runs, the town of Lillooet is accessible via Highway 40. Furthermore, the world-class Tyax Lodge is a scenic drive away on Tyaughton Lake, offering luxury dining and floatplane access. Summers are typically warm, dry, and sunny, while winters bring substantial snowfall, transforming the area into a hub for winter sports.
The property sits within a semi-arid ecological transition zone. As seen in aerial imagery, the area is heavily treed, providing excellent natural shade and privacy. Regionally, the valleys and lower slopes of this area are dominated by Interior Douglas fir and montane spruce forests, while subalpine forests dominate the middle mountain slopes. Beyond the property line, the terrain rises into rolling alpine meadows and the rugged, glacier-dominated areas of the surrounding mountain ranges.
The Bridge River Valley is a world-class playground that caters to adrenaline seekers and peace-seekers alike, regardless of the season. During the warmer months, Gun Lake’s notoriously clear water is the main attraction, offering ideal conditions for swimming, kayaking, wakeboarding, and powerboating. Anglers flock to the lake for its excellent populations of kokanee, bull trout, and rainbow trout. Just north of the property lies the legendary South Chilcotin Mountains Provincial Park, a globally recognized destination for backcountry horseback riding, multi-day hiking treks, and some of the best alpine mountain biking on the continent.
When the snow falls, the region becomes one of British Columbia’s premier backcountry winter hubs. Deep, consistent powder makes it a mecca for snowmobiling, with endless miles of groomed trails and alpine sledding areas accessible right from your doorstep. Backcountry ski touring, snowshoeing, and ice fishing round out a truly limitless winter recreation menu.
While today the Bridge River Valley is famous for its outdoor recreation, it was originally put on the map by an incredible gold rush. In the 1930s, during the height of the Great Depression, the valley exploded with industry and became one of the few economic bright spots in the province. The nearby Bralorne and Pioneer mines evolved into the richest gold-producing operations in Canadian history, yielding millions of ounces of gold and supporting bustling towns equipped with schools, banks, and recreation halls.
Gun Lake itself served as a pristine, quiet retreat away from the noise of the mines, where wealthy promoters and executives built private lodges to host visiting dignitaries. Today, the local economy has successfully transitioned from resource extraction to eco-tourism and recreation, but the fascinating heritage of the gold rush era is still proudly preserved in the local architecture, ghost towns, and community spirit.
The lot is irregular in shape, featuring approximately 120 feet (36.5 metres) of frontage along the lake side.

The existing house and high-value detached shop reduce immediate capital requirements for a new owner.
With high assessed values and limited inventory on Gun Lake, this represents a strong holding property with revenue-generating potential through rental or commercial operations.
