Discover The Fishing Highway – Highway 24
Known affectionately as The Fishing Highway, Highway 24 is one of the province’s key routes linking the Yellowhead (Hwy 5) with Highway 97. This scenic drive takes you past some of the region’s finest fishing lakes, with hundreds of options offering diverse fishing experiences year-round. Along the way, the highway crosses the stunning MacDonald Summit at 1,312 meters elevation and passes near Windy Mountain, the highest peak in the South Cariboo.
Fishing isn’t the only draw here — ATV riding, snowmobiling, and horseback riding are also favorite ways to explore. The route connects vibrant communities like Bridge Lake, Sheridan Lake, and Lone Butte, all equipped with traveler-friendly services.
For those wanting to stay awhile, accommodations range from lakeside resorts with campgrounds, RV sites, and cabin rentals to guest ranches, cozy B&Bs, and vacation homes.
If you’re after a perfect nature getaway, hike one of the iconic Buttes or launch your boat on the sparkling Lac des Roches. No matter the season — summer, winter, spring, or fall — the Interlakes area promises unforgettable landscapes, exciting activities, and welcoming communities for the entire family.
