Lac La Hache - British Columbia - Artistic Welcome Signs on Waymarking.com

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.

Lac La Hache welcome sign is huge with Lac La Hache, BC across the handle. There is rope binding around the end of the handle and used to attach the blade to the handle. The blade is metal most likely shaped typical of this fur trading era that started around 1850.

Lac La Hache Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in the Cariboo and is well known for its Kokanee fishing and gigantic lake trout that has delighted many young anglers.

Though Lac La Hache is actually a small community of approximately 260 residents it draws visitors during fishing season and even during the winter for ice fishing.

Lac La Hache is also known as "The Longest Town in the Cariboo" and is located about 20 km north of 100 Mile House on Hwy. 97. Lac La Hache stretches along much of the 18 km lake shoreline.
