This completely restored Hudson’s Bay Company post, located on the shores of Stuart Lake, was an economic powerhouse of trade and commerce in the 19th Century. It is the largest group of original wooden buildings depicting the fur trade in Canada and portrays the relationship between the fur traders and the Carrier First Nation. Costumed interpreters provide a first hand look at how people lived, ate, worked and died more than a century ago.

Absolutely fantastic stop. We we're a bit worried this stop would be fairly dull due to covid, but Jim made our experience in the fort a highlight of our camping trip. He gave us loads of interesting facts and history about the fort, showed us the animals, and recommended the Cafe for a bite to eat. It was closed the day we were there, but we made a separate trip back the next day to try their pulled rabbit sandwiches and gingerade. Was totally worth it! 10/10 would come back. Would be a great day out for families.
