The webcam is right at a rest area, conveniently enough. It is the Wilgress Rest Area, so named because it is on Wilgress Lake. And no, I couldn't say if there are fish in the lake - we didn't try it. The webcam is on the top of a steel post at the western end of the approach to the rest area, as the westbound highway is actually headed northeast right here.

Further west on the highway another 2 km. is the site of the one time town of Eholt, once an important railroad town but now completely gone, leaving barely a trace behind. The Kettle Valley Rail Trail, where once were the railroad tracks, is about all one will find of the town.The KVR runs a considerable distance, from Midway to the east all the way to Hope via Penticton and Summerland. It also runs up the east side of Okanagan Lake to Kelowna.

This webcam updates every 2 minutes. BC Highway webcams are owned and operated by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. They are accessible online at DriveBC.
