Lac La Hache is translated: "The Lake of the Axe". As legend has it: during the fur trade era, after the unfortunate incident of a French-Canadian voyageur who lost his axe head while chopping a hole in the ice. This is how the town and lake got its name. One note of interest the welcome sign claims that Lac La Hache is the longest town in the Cariboo. Lac La Hache is a beautiful lake well known for its kokanee fishing and lake trout.
Lac La Hache Provincial Park Campground has 83 vehicle accessible campsites with a picnic table and a fire ring. There are tent, RV and camper campsites available and is wheelchair accessible.
