Seton Portage, BC, Canada
Lillooet, Cariboo-Chilcotin Region, British Columbia

Seton Portage, BC, Canada is a small recreation village tucked away in a forested valley, surrounded by mountains, lakes, creeks and wildlife. The village, itself, rests in between two lakes - Carpenter and Anderson Lakes. It was not always this way. At one time, the two lakes acted as one large 45 kilometre lake until a landslide separated the lake in two.

The small village is situated on Seton Lake. A row of residential homes fronts the lake leading to the village centre where there is a restaurant, motel, pub and a general store. In the back country hills are a few adventure resorts, many of which are very self contained and self reliant. Some resorts specialize in fishing, off roading and relaxing in the summer and then, switch gears in the winter and focus on snowmobiling, heli skiing and cross country skiing.

Prepare well as summers are busy attracting many to the area for hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, off roading, fishing, canoeing, kayaking,swimming, water skiing, jet skiing and horseback riding. And being that Seton Portage is surrounded by mountains and glaciers the winter season is also active.
