| Naxwit
Picnic Site is a very well maintained day-use-only
site with plenty of informational billboards highlighting the
history and wildlife of the region. The entrance is well marked
and includes a very large, bus and RV friendly, parking lot. Naxwit
is located west of Seton Dam and the community of Lillooet, BC,
Canada.
The park rests on the shores of the Seton River wedged up against
some giant, granite canyon walls. The river valley, opens up,
providing great mountain and river views. Exploring the nearby
trails, rivers, lakes and gravel roads provides an opportunity
to view some of the local wildlife and maybe, find, a pictograph.
Naxwit is a popular stop for travelers for a picnic and to stretch
weary legs. Onsite, in the park, is a selection of 14 picnic tables,
some on the shore of the river while others in the shade of trees.
Nearby, in the parking lot is a washroom and some drinking water.
Naxwit is the name given to the park from the Stl'atl'imx First
Nation people. As the land once was the traditional lands of the
First Nation people. Translated Naxwit means "snakes"
named after the many Garter Snakes in the area.
