Travelling through aspen forests past dozens of productive lakes, the region surrounded by 5,000 lakes is renowned among anglers for its trout fishing and its vacation and recreational opportunities. Sheridan Lake is one of the largest in the area at 1,659 hectares (4,098 acres) and is spring fed with miles of shoreline and shoals.

7510 Magnussen Road - Bridge Lake, BC
Access is by Highway 24, 35 km (22 mi) east of 93 Mile House (off Highway 97, just south of the community of 100 Mile House). Turn right at the Sheridan Lake Store onto Magnussen Road. If coming in from Kamloops, take the Yellowhead (Highway 5) to Little Fort, then head west on Highway 24 for 68 km (41 mi).
Sheridan Lake features over 208 km (130 mi) of mapped and signed trails maintained by the Interlakes Snowmobile Club, the Sheridan Lake Quad Squad and The Friends of Sheridan Lake Society. These trails are suitable for hiking, mountain biking and ATVing during the warmer months, and for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling during the winter.
Sheridan Lake is well-known for its trophy fishing, with rainbow trout commonly weighing in at 3 to 5 lbs. and going up to 16 lbs. The lake produces rainbow trout consistently May through October, and fly fishermen are attracted to the many weed beds and islands. In May and June the community-built spawning channels offer educational insights into fish-enhancement projects. There are some 300 lakes in the area, most of them stocked with fish.
Although the largest certified rainbow trout weighed in at 17 pounds, fishermen's stories claim fish up to 25 pounds. The average is about 3 to 5 pounds. Anywhere from May to October will usually prove successful fishing. Trolling is the most popular method of catching Sheridan Lake's trophy rainbow trout. Any kind of set up can be effective for trolling, but most of the old-timers stick with a fairly soft 8 to 10 foot rod, using either a small mooching reel or revolving spool reel with enough capacity to hold at least 100 yards of 12 pound backing line, with a minimum of 120 feet (4 colours) lead core and 90 feet of 4-6 pound monofilament leader.
Fly fishing with full sinking lines and long leaders can be very effective as well. In addition the many weed beds and island shallows make for excellent fly fishing. From June 15th to July 20th fly fishers can enjoy hatches of mayflies and Traveller Sedges. Chironomids are also abundant at this time. While the stocking of eastern brook trout has been discontinued, Sheridan Lake has received 250,000 rainbow trout.
Many of the trails in this area are excellent for horseback riding. Some of the secluded trails are easily accessible on horseback; anglers often pack their fly-rod on their saddle and embark on a quiet afternoon of fishing and riding.
Sheridan Lake is located along Highway 24, the "Fishing Highway" that runs east to west between 100 Mile House in the South Cariboo (atop of the Fraser Plateau) and Little Fort in the Thompson River Valley. This route remains basically the same route that the fur traders used centuries ago. Parts of the Hudson's Bay Fur Brigade Trail can still be seen near the east end of the highway and is permanently preserved as a "heritage trail."
With the discovery of gold in the northern Cariboo and the gold rush that followed in the mid-1800s, the wilderness trails soon became valuable roads all leading to the gold fields in the north for 100,000s of gold seekers. Along the routes roadhouses sprung up to provide necessary stopover points. The abundance of water from hundreds of lakes and adjoining streams with luscious grasslands dotted throughout the forested areas caused the progression towards cattle ranching in the area, a natural and rewarding development. Today, the corridor serves several industries, mainly logging, ranching and tourism, as it still has the abundance of these natural and pristine elements of water, timber and grassland. Several of the original roadhouses are restored and still in use as are original recreation resort buildings which have withstood the deterioration of time.
