By car
West from Williams Lake on Highway 20, about 3½ hours across the Chilcotin plateau. We're one kilometre off the highway at Anahim Lake.
Coming the other way, it's roughly 2 hours up from Bella Coola, including The Hill.
Getting here
Four ways to reach the lake
Anahim Lake is remote, but it is not hard to get to. Pick whichever of these suits your trip — and tell us which one you're taking, so we know when to expect you.
The property from the air · the dock runs straight out into the lake
By plane
Anahim Lake Airport is a twelve-minute drive from our gate. Fly in, and we'll take it from there — ask about a pickup when you book.
Schedules change seasonally, so check current service before you commit to dates.
By floatplane
Float-equipped aircraft can land directly on Anahim Lake and come ashore at the property — no shuttle, no rental car.
Murray flies, so you'll be talking to someone who understands the question. Call ahead and we'll meet you at the water.
By ferry, via Bella Coola
Sail the Central Coast with BC Ferries to Bella Coola, then drive east on Highway 20 through the valley and up The Hill.
The long way round, and the beautiful one — about 2 hours from the terminal.
Straight onto the water
If you fly, this is the short version: land on Anahim Lake, taxi in, and tie up at our dock. You are a two-minute walk from the dining room.
Call ahead so we know to expect you, and we’ll meet you at the water.
