This one-room fishing cabin was donated to TLC by long-time Williams Lake resident and naturalist, Winnie Bennie. Located along the shore of Nimpo Lake, in the Chilcotins west of Williams Lake, the cabin has been converted for use as a rental. This small, rustic cabin sits on about 10 acres of lodgepole pine and aspen.
The Nimpo Lake area is one of BC’s premier fishing destinations. Fishing opportunities in the area are almost endless. There are so many opportunities that the avid fisher never needs to fish the same place twice. Nimpo itself hosts world class fishing for Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden and Bull Trout. The Dean River that empties Nimpo Lake is a world-renowned fly-fishing river.
The cabin can also be used as a jumping off point for exploration of this rugged part of BC. It is located it is at the doorstep of Tweedsmuir Park, one of BC’s largest parks. Traveling just west of Tweedsmuir Park, one can descend in to Bella Coola to immerse oneself in all that the mid-coast has to offer. If a more rugged park experience is in order, Nimpo is but a stone’s throw (~50 km) to Itcha Ilgachuz Provincial Park. This remote and roadless 112,000-hectare wilderness area protects significant caribou habitat as well as the northernmost occurrence of California bighorn sheep in North America.
