| In a quiet valley, surrounded by beautiful
green mountains and lush forests, is the picturesque community of Quesnel.
Located at the confluence of the Fraser and Quesnel Rivers, Quesnel is
the commercial centre of the North Cariboo. Once the last stop on
the Fraser River for the Gold Rush trail, Quesnel became a boomtown in
the late 1800s, with the discovery of gold in the area, and was the service
centre for gold prospectors stocking up with supplies before heading east
for gold towns such as William's Creek
and Barkerville, the centre of the Great Cariboo Gold Rush.
Like many towns along the Fraser River, Quesnel was a stopping point for Simon Fraser on his river trip of 1808; in fact, it was named for one of his lieutenants on the voyage.Visitors arriving here today find a perfect place from which to launch outdoor adventures such as camping, hiking, mountain climbing, trail riding, rockhounding or fishing.
