Both Anahim and Nimpo Lake are located approximately 200 miles west of Williams Lake on Highway 20 West. The highway is paved the entire way and is generally in good condition in winter. The drive offers a wonderful view of the country from rolling hills at Riske Creek to your first view of the magnificent Coastals at Redstone and Tatla Lake.

Anahim Lake has an airport, so you can also fly here from Vancouver, Victoria, or Bella Coola with Pacific Coastal Airlines. There is at least one flight mid day in winter, and at least two or more flights during the summer season.
Pacific Coastal's headquarters are located at the Vancouver International Airport in the South Terminal. They have a super Customer Service department where you can call at 1-800-663-2872 for their rates and schedules or go to their web site at http://www.pacificcoastal.com

One thing that you must realize about this country, is that there is only one highway in and out. There are no taxis, buses, or vehicle rental outlets except in Bella Coola. All of the resorts and lodges offer shuttle services to the airport, and some offer a courtesy vehicle in some cases. Otherwise, when planning a visit, plan to bring your own vehicle, or make prior arrangements for some form of transportation. Keep in mind too, that you should have good winter tires if you are planning a winter vacation and watch out for animals on the road in all seasons.
