History

Established in 1967, The Silvertip Lodge was built for the comfort of avid fishermen and hunters.  Located at the east end of the 100km-long Quesnel Lake, B.C., Canada, the location boasts trophy trout fishing in the waters off-shore and in the nearby rivers. The lodge was constructed entirely from lumber cut and milled on site.

The area was originally explored during the Cariboo Gold Rush. Prospectors searching for gold made their way to the East Arm Of Quesnel lake in search of potential gold deposits thought to exist on the other side of now Summit Trail up tributaries of Hobson Lake. A small hotel was built at the end of the lake to sleep the works as they built a trail connecting the lakes to haul in supplies and cart out ore for testing. Eventually the site was abandoned due to perceived avalanche risk in the area of interest for exploration. Today gold panning is a still a popular activity in the region.

Silvertip Lodge is a welcome sight after taking the journey by boat, plane or helicopter.  The building radiates an authentic feeling that cannot be created by modern structures.   Now that Silvertip Lodge has been redesigned, complete with all the modern amenities any outdoor enthusiast could want, let it serve as your home-away-from-home for your next mountain adventure – be it winter or summer!
