Demographics

The Village of Fraser Lake is situated on the gently rolling hills of the Nechako Plateau at the geographical center of British Columbia.

Latitude 54° 05’ N
Longitude 124° 51’ W
Elevation 670 Metres (2,200 Feet)

While the Village of Fraser Lake is relatively flat, the surrounding wilderness has a variety of sloping plateaus, hills and mountains. Lakes and wetlands are also scattered throughout this domain, attracting moose and a variety of other wildlife.

An extensive geological survey of the area has dated Basalt flows to be 50 million years old with Columnar Basalt still visible at Red Rock. Tectonic activity combined with the sedimentary deposits of volcanic

ash within (an olive green matrix) expose wave-like strata along the edge of the Nadleh Whuten Reserve.

In relative terms, Fraser Lake could be characterized as having moderate precipitation and middle range temperatures in comparison to the rest of the Province.
