Nimpo Lake sits on the Chilcotin Plateau surrounded by the Coastal, Itcha and Ulkatcho mountains. It is an excellent fishing lake, offering Rainbow trout of up to five pounds. Nimpo Lake has appropriately been named the “Floatplane Capital of BC” and presently has two air charter companies providing a host of services to the many visitors. It also has many private float plane docks around the lake. Sightseeing charters are very popular because so much of this scenic area is only accessible by air. There are many alpine and high-altitude lakes in the area for camping, fishing, hunting and hiking. A day will not go by in the summer when you won’t see a floatplane take off of the lake carrying visitors on a flightseeing tour to the Turner Lake chain for a multi-day canoe trip, or for a day of fishing on one of the pristine fly-in lakes.

Nimpo Lake is also a favourite stop for many pilots flying on their way to the Yukon or Alaska who have become accustomed to refuelling here. Nimpo Lake is at 3,655 ft elevation with spectacular views of the Coast Mountain Range to the South. It is a relatively calm lake well known for its trout fishing, kayaking, canoeing or just drifting with a fishing line.

Many species of wildlife can be seen in the area including deer, moose, caribou, bears, wolves, cougars and several species of birds.
