108 Mile Ranch, Heritage ranch settlement in Cariboo Regional District, Canada.
108 Mile Ranch is a heritage settlement in the Cariboo area featuring the largest log barn in Canada and restored buildings that show traditional ranch construction. The site covers more than 1500 acres of protected green spaces with two lakes and residential areas.
The settlement began in 1862 as a rest stop during the Cariboo Gold Rush, with its name marking exactly 108 miles along the wagon road from Lillooet. The place grew from this starting point into a ranching center as the gold rush declined.
The place preserves ranching traditions through buildings and objects that reflect how people lived and worked on the land. You can walk through structures that show the daily life and choices of those who built this community.
The site is walkable with paths through restored buildings and across open areas with lakes. Spring through fall is the best time to visit when all trails are open and the landscape is most welcoming.
The community grew from a small group of 25 families into an area with 700 homes while keeping extensive natural spaces open to the public. This balance between housing and green areas is uncommon in modern settlements.
