Blackwater Spruce Ranch Cattle Drive

The Blackwater Spruce Ranch is located in the upper Blackwater Valley, about 70 km north and west of Quesnel, BC. We are near the geographical centre of BC, being an almost equal distance from the northern Yukon border to the south and east to west. This is a real working cattle ranch with a lot of nature and history at its doorstep. We are approximately 30 km from "Kilometer 0" of the Alexander Mackenzie Heritage Trail, an 8000 year old trail with significant importance in western British Columbia's early history.

Guests stay in one of our cabins which have all the comforts of home. We offer luxurious comforters and soft pillows and all beds are covered by mosquito nets. Cabins have a sitting area and are stocked with the latest reading materials.

Our latest addition is the bunk house which sleeps 16, and will have its own cooking area for those who wish to prepare their own food. Along with those on an adventure trip, those who wish to be totally self-sufficient, cabins are available for rental on a daily basis.

Whether it is a adventure along the Alexander Mackenzie Heritage Trail, camping, canoeing or experiencing ranch life, come and spend time with us in the beautiful North Cariboo! Join us on one of our scheduled trips, the wagon is hooked up and ready go.

The Cattle Drive happens twice a year, June and September, and your invited to come along. Please visit the Blackwater Spruce Ranch website for more information on the cattle drive and other activities this great ranch has to offer.
