Contact listing agent
The jagged mountain peaks of the Chilcotin are covered in vast ice fields and wide alpine meadows, gradually softening into large valleys, gently rolling foothills, pine covered forests, lakes and rivers and the grasslands of the Chilcotin Plateau.
This is essentially backcountry at its best complete with some of the best fishing lakes and rivers to be found in North America. The expansive Chilcotin lies between the Fraser River and Coast Mountains, a 5,000 square kilometre plateau of rangeland, where thousands of cattle roam unfenced land. The Chilcotin is a very special place, it is wild, remote, and fairly isolated. It is a land peopled by those with a strong sense of independence, strength of character, good humour and determination. It is a land of log cabins and wood smoke, snake fences, dirt roads and pickup trucks.
Access to these lakes is by way of the Taseko Lake road branching south from Highway 20 at Lee’s Corner. It’s about 87 km on this good gravel road. The wild stock lakes have both rainbows and Dolly Varden and trolling is the preferred way of taking them, although spinning lures will also work. The rainbows will go to two pounds or better and the Dollies to 15 pounds.
This stunning valley is composed of a gently sloping, hilly terrain and vast fields. It is mixed with coniferous and deciduous forests and lush meadows all surrounded by a spectacular mountain backdrop.
Outdoor recreation and activities are endless in the Chilcotin. You can enjoy fishing the rivers or lakes for Dolly Varden and trout, or come and view one of the largest annual runs of sockeye salmon in British Columbia. Every year, from mid-August to mid-October, hundreds of thousands of salmon return to their spawning grounds. During this time, you can always enjoy viewing the massive grizzly bears and their families as they come out to feast on the spawning salmon.
You can also experience the Chilcotin on horseback, the way it was meant to be seen. There are endless areas to trail ride and explore. River kayaking, rafting, windsurfing in the clean waters are also very popular activities.
Hunting, hiking, biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snow machining or canoeing are also great recreational activities in this area.
The Tsilhqot'in First Nations in the Nemaiah Valley, located in British Columbia’s remote Chilcotin region, have a rich history deeply tied to the land. The Nemaiah Valley is home to the Xeni Gwet'in, one of the six Tsilhqot'in communities, who have lived in the area for generations, maintaining a traditional lifestyle centred around hunting, fishing, and stewardship of the land. The valley is renowned for its stunning landscapes, including rugged mountains, pristine lakes, and vast grasslands. It is also a culturally significant area, where the Xeni Gwet'in assert their rights and sovereignty, particularly following the landmark 2014 Supreme Court decision affirming Tsilhqot'in title to over 1,700 square kilometres of land.
The Nehemiah Valley remains a vital stronghold of Tsilhqot'in culture, where the community actively works to preserve its language, traditions, and way of life while protecting the natural environment from outside development. The Tsilhqot'in Nation holds title to more than 1,700 square kilometres of land in British Columbia's Interior, a historic recognition that resulted from a 2014 Supreme Court of Canada decision. This landmark ruling was the first time in Canadian history that Indigenous land title had been affirmed, acknowledging the Tsilhqot'in people’s exclusive rights to control, manage, and use their traditional territory.
The Tsihqot’in Declared Title area, located within the caretaker area of the Xeni Gwet’in, does not included deeded/privately owned land within the area. The property listed falls within the larger Tsilhqot'in land claim title area. This means that while the Tsilhqot'in Nation has legal authority over much of the surrounding land, including rights to approve developments or resource extraction, privately owned parcels remain outside this direct control.
