Fur-trade post on Stuart Lake: Canada's largest set of restored Hudson's Bay-era buildings.

Café or food on site

Fort St. James National Historic Site preserves Canada's largest collection of faithfully restored wooden buildings from the fur trade era, set on the shores of Stuart Lake in north-central BC. Costumed interpretive staff bring Hudson's Bay Company life back to the present, and the site's famously quirky chicken races are a highlight of any summer visit. Free admission and a self-guided audio tour make it an accessible and memorable stop on a long-distance cycling route through the Cariboo and Central Interior.
