Horsefly British Columbia Tourist Information
April 1859 Mining Records show the Cariboo's first gold discovery ten miles above the mouth of the Horsefly River, pre-dating the Barkerville gold rush. Many miners flocked here, including the Chinese, and a small village rose rapidly to meet their needs. Early buildings included motels, store, post office and several cabins built on the present town site. Present day Horsefly is a diversified community with a forestry, tourism and ranching based economy. Fisheries and Oceans operates a spawning channel in the village area where sockeye salmon return each August & September to reproduce. The Horsefly River watershed is highly rated fish habitat and is very well suited for canoes, kayaks, etc. There are many recreational possibilities and accommodation available ranging from modern rooms at resorts, B & B's or the motel, to full service camping, to back country adventure tours. The village is served well with general stores, service station with licensed mechanic, hardware and antique stores, cafe and bakeries, churches, library, and a neighborhood pub.
