Paddlewheels North historical marker
A historical marker for Paddlewheels North with a river in the background. The inscription reads "Down river lay the perilous and unnavigable canyon. Up-river the Fraser was swift and strong, but sternwheelers could travel for 400 miles from Soda Creek. Men and supplies embarked here in the 1860's for the fabulous Cariboo goldfields. Later, as the G.T.P. Railway was forged across the Province, nine paddlewheelers formed a life-line to the north. Department of Recreation & Conservation."
