Getting to Siwash Lake

Wondering where to stay on the Canadian Rockies road trip from Vancouver to Banff and Jasper? Here you will find top rated resort accommodations in the interior of BC at Siwash Lake, which is remarkably remote, yet easily accessible.

Or you can fly from Vancouver — travel time is 2-3 hours in total including ground transfers with our Siwash Lake Transfer Package.  Getting here is part of the adventure!

Siwash Lake is located in the south central interior of British Columbia



Ranch Location


Siwash Lake is situated on a 300-acre private estate in the heart of British Columbia's Cariboo region. Perched 3,600 feet above sea level, it sits high atop a vast plateau that stretches from BC's coastal mountains to the foothills of the Canadian Rockies.

The heart of the ranch is a verdant oasis surrounded by 10,000 acres of regenerating landscapes — patches of burnt, ebony forests flanked by meadows, lakes and two meandering rivers.

Grasslands roll gently between rugged canyons, where cowboys still tend to cattle on horseback and where swathes of pink fireweed make for vibrant days in the saddle. These are the wild and remote ranchlands of BC's southern interior.

We gratefully acknowledge that Siwash Lake lies in the unceded territories of the Secwepemc Nation. We respectfully honour their people, cultures and traditions.
