Lac La Hache, British Columbia

Lac La Hache, British Columbia

Lac La Hache is a recreational and retirement community in the Cariboo region of British Columbia, Canada. Located on the shore of Lac La Hache (lost my axe) alongside British Columbia Highway 97 near the regional centre of 100 Mile House, the community's origins date to the days of the Cariboo Gold Rush and the Cariboo Wagon Road, for which it provided an important roadhouse. Its name comes from a story about an axe thrown in the lake, and originally it was equally known as Axe Lake until the French version of its name became preferred.
