Clinton, BC

This small town in the south of British Columbia's Cariboo Country offers a wide variety of activities, sights and scenery, year round. With its colorful history of well over 100 years and its unique western atmosphere, Clinton was founded as a direct result of the "boom" of the Cariboo Gold Rush.

After the discovery of gold in the Cariboo, Royal Engineers were commissioned to build a road through the Fraser Canyon to the Cariboo to join the already existing wagon road from Lillooet to 47 Mile. The junction was 47 miles from Lillooet and thus 47 Mile was the name used until 1863, when 47 Mile officially became Clinton. The community also boasts of hosting one of British Columbia's oldest continuously running events, the "Clinton Annual Ball," held in May of each year.

Clinton Museum

There are a number of popular historical sites to visit, and the historical walking tour through the main street of Clinton provides a pictorial tour through history. Local craft shops are frequented by those passing through as well as local people.

A small friendly community close to larger centres, Clinton offers a life of quiet living in one of the most pristine natural environments in the world, with an ever changing spectrum from rolling hills, ranch lands, and spectacular chasms.

Summer or winter Clinton has a great many activities to offer the visitor - from hiking and fishing in the summer to cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in winter. Kelly Lake, Pear Lake, Leighwood Lake, Riley Dam, Big Bar Lake, Beaverdam Lake and Loon Lake all provide excellent fishing. Some of these lakes also provide resorts, picnicking, swimming and beaches. There are many different types of wildlife found around Clinton and area, including deer, moose, cougar, bear and upland game.
