Watch Lake Lodge and Guest Ranch is a working ranch located in the South Cariboo, in British Columbia, Canada. The Horn family has owned and operated Watch Lake Lodge since 1950 and still carry on their friendly family ways today. Generations of families have enjoyed their stay at Watch Lake Lodge and many have formed very special friendships with each other at their “home away from home”!
Location
Watch Lake Lodge is situated at the “T” corner on Watch Lake Road. The lodge was built in the late 1920’s and was originally a hunting & fishing camp. The Horn family have owned it since 1950 and not many can say they know the area as well as Dimps who has lived her whole life right here at Watch Lake!
Watch Lake is located 20 miles East of 70 Mile House in the heart of the historic Cariboo. It is approximately four miles long at an elevation of 3500 feet in forest of mainly fir, jack-pine and poplar with many natural grass covered clearings.
