Branch # 3 Quesnel

 

Quesnel has a population of 8,000 people and is located at the confluence of the Quesnel and Fraser Rivers. By Highway 97 it is both 119 km south of Prince George and 119 km north of Williams Lake. Downtown Quesnel is bridge-dependent as it lies on a rounded piece of land between the two rivers. During the gold rushes of the 1850 era the miners left the Fraser to start their walk to Barkerville and Williams Creek.

Today Quesnel is a major lumber, pulp, commercial and service center for the North Caribou.
