70 Mile House is a small rural community of approximately 1,600 residents. 70 Mile House is home to an abundance of birds and wildlife and also has protected areas for spawning salmon.

There are postal boxes for rental located near the entrance. All postal services are provided during regular business hours which are as follows:

Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Saturday, Sunday and Holidays - Closed

It is interesting to note that 70 Mile roadhouse was the first stopping place built on the Old Cariboo Road in 1869. It was a frequent stop for stagecoaches and mule trains. The roadhouse at 70 Mile House burned down in 1956, but travelers on Highway 97 will now have access to the Loc Lomand rest area.
