The historic town of Barkerville, east of Wells, BC offers a variety of outdoor activities including hiking and snowshoeing. Billy Barker’s legendary gold strike on Williams Creek triggered a multi-billion dollar industrial revolution that built a province. Today, the extraordinary historic town of Barkerville stands as a living testament to BC’s golden beginnings. With its unique streetscape of more than 125 heritage buildings, period displays, satellite museums, restaurants, and shops there is still so much to explore.
