In 100 Mile House, you can shape your stay around walking trails, nature watching, and local culture. Centennial Park has walking trails and dramatic waterfalls; a 1.5-kilometre loop trail runs through 100 Mile Marsh, and the Exeter Valley Accessible Nature Trail follows a creek before looping through an aspen grove. There is also a public art gallery, workshops, plays, and musicals. As you plan, you can weigh these different nature and cultural offerings according to your interests.
Walking Trails and Nature Watching
Centennial Park is just east of the town centre and has walking trails and dramatic waterfalls. It offers a nature stop of its own for anyone who wants to include park trails and waterfalls in their stay.
A 1.5-kilometre loop trail runs through 100 Mile Marsh. The trail has low mobility requirements and offers opportunities to observe wildlife. Its loop length, mobility requirements, and nature-watching opportunities provide specific points to consider when choosing a walk. If you like to combine time outdoors with wildlife watching, this trail puts wildlife in the foreground.
The Exeter Valley Accessible Nature Trail is on the grounds of the South Cariboo Recreation Centre. It first follows a creek, then loops through an aspen grove. A nearby wetland is home to many bird species. In contrast to the Marsh loop, the creek, aspen grove, and nearby wetland define the nature experience here; at the Marsh, the specific points to consider are a loop trail with a stated length and opportunities to observe wildlife.
Art, Workshops, and Live Performances
The Parkside Art Gallery is open to the public, is a non-profit, and is run entirely by volunteers. The District of 100 Mile House provides it with gallery space. Check current opening hours before your visit.
The Cariboo Artists' Guild offers workshops. The 100 Mile Performing Arts Society stages plays and musicals in the community and is run by volunteers. Alongside a gallery visit, workshops and performances are different ways to include local culture in your stay. If you want to make one of these offerings the occasion for your trip, check the dates in advance and plan accordingly.
Explore 100 Mile House by E-Bike
The South Cariboo Visitor Centre offers e-bike rentals for exploring 100 Mile House and the surrounding area. Rental rides start and end at the Visitor Centre, 155 Wrangler Way. This offers a different way to explore than the walking trails described above. As availability and operating details can change, check both before your trip.
