Quesnelle Forks Ghost Town – British Columbia

In 1859, gold was discovered and 5,000 miners flooded in. The town had stores, hotels, doctors, even a watchmaker. But when the Cariboo Wagon Road bypassed it in 1865, everyone left.

Today: FREE to explore. Original log cabins, heritage cemetery, no tickets needed. 9km from Likely, BC on dirt road.
