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.
