Taseko Lake Outfitters covers a 500 square mile territory which stretches from where Fish Creek feeds into Taseko River in the north to White Cross Mountain and Bridge Glacier, (headwaters of Bridge River) in the south; from Big Creek in the east to the Taseko lakes and headwaters of the Lord River in the west.

The Chilcotin Mountains run along the southeast side of the territory and the Coast Mountains border the southwest. Taseko lakes are nestled between the two mountain ranges. Elevations range from 4365' to Taseko Mountain at 10,044'. Vick's Mountain sheltering Taseko Lake Lodge stands at 8000'.

The high mountain climate is generally dry and includes hot days, cool nights and the occasional mountain storm.

Some areas of the Taseko Lakes and Rivers are part of the Ts'yl-os Provincial Park, 233 240 ha, where one quarter of the Fraser River's salmon are born.

Ts'yl-os Provincial Park is within the traditional territories of the Xeni Gwet'in, or Nemiah people, of the Tsilhqot'in First Nation. The park takes its name from the mountain known to Tsilhqot'in as Ts'yl-os (Mt Tatlow, 10043'). Chilcotin means, "People of the blue water."

The original lodge was built by a cowboy named Bill Woods in the 1920s. Bill had a way with animals and always had a well trained horse and dog with him. He was a first class packer and outdoors man who was often hired for transporting explorers and their supplies, he also operated as a guide outfitter.

In the 1930s a prospector by the name of Christopher Vick was in search of gold, after years of unsuccessful digging he left the area, and the 8000′ mountain behind the lodge was named after him, “Vick’s Mountain”.

Many local First Nations people also use the unique environment around Taseko Lake for ranching, hunting and fishing. We encourage you to visit the Nemiah Valley just west of the Taseko, home of the Xeni Gwetin First Nation to experience their rich and thriving culture. www.xeni.ca

The tales of the early days are rich with adventure and have filled many books! If you are interested to hear and see more we will fill your ears around the camp fire during your stay with us.

Your present day hosts Siegfried and Kelly Reuter have since turned Taseko Lake Lodge into a first class wilderness destination in the Chilcotin while retaining a true wilderness experience and maintaining its rich pioneer heritage.
