- Megan RSaint Louis, MO87 contributionsGreat stop on the drive between Whistler and Kamloops. We enjoyed the view, a bottle of wine, and a cheese plate as a short rest before continuing on to Kamloops. Would definitely stop again if doing the same drive.Written July 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dickenson FamilyKemptville, Canada932 contributionsBeautiful Lake nestled in the mountain. Well worth the drive whether you are coming from Pemberton or Lilooet. Great place to snap a few photos.Written August 7, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mountainman827Custer, SD1,339 contributionsWorth a stop at overlook above the bridge. Neat old bridge and view of the valley. Also good viewpoint for railroad bridge.Written August 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- toddlerpantsDroitwich, UK941 contributionsAs we were on a quick stop over for a bite to eat we did not spend too long in here.
The staff were helpful and knowledgeable and the exhibits were olde worlde as you would expect. This is not a massive exhibit so you could easily look round in 30 mins.
Outside there was a nice totem pole, good photo opportunity and some massive chunks of Jade. Nice.
There are some public restrooms just across the grass very nearby.Written July 29, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is well preserved, but in its original condition, and still has original medical equipment used by its former owner.Written September 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gardiner WVancouver, Canada530 contributionsPerched on a bench above the Fraser River with spectacular rugged mountain views, the LBC offers a range of beers and has a limited food menu. Beers...quite good but all have a bit of sweetness that wasn't to my particular taste. Drinkable nontheless. I ordered a pizza (apparently made in Pemberton and brought in to cook) which was tasty and filling. Family friendly deck great during the milder weather months. Friendly service and nice ambiance. All credit cards accepted. Include a Lillooet stopover on your visit to this rugged friendly little townWritten August 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Luc VCoquitlam, Canada28 contributionsSCM Provincial Park is a beautiful backcountry destination with fairly easy access, well built trails and tons to see. In our three night stay starting from Jewel Bridge we were able to see a very small portion of the park. In total we saw a total of 20 people so it's not that busy and there was quite a bit of wild life. We saw moose, deer and a bear. Wild flowers are beautiful as are the lakes and mountain views. We will definitely return for a longer trip. I would recommend staying at least 5-7 nights.Written July 25, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- toddlerpantsDroitwich, UK941 contributionsOMG This thing is so cute. We spotted it on our way out of town.
I love this town it has some real working but old cowboy western style buildings. Without all the modern trappings of life now, you could have been transported back in time.
The shuttle was sitting slightly down the rails from the station.
Its another world.Written July 29, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BottomshelfhockeyRichmond, Canada8,754 contributionsThe Memorial is relatively new as it was officially opened in May 2018.
With the involvement of Canada in World War II, Japanese Canadians were moved to various internment camps in the interior of British Columbia.
As far as memorials go, this is a very simple memorial that honours all the Japanese Canadians that were removed from their homes on the Pacific Coast and moved to four internment camps in the area - East Lillooet, Bridge River, Minto, and McGillivray Falls.
There is some background information and the history of the internment camps on the signage.
I would rate the actual physical site as “okay” - a simple landscaped clearing. However, in terms of historical significance, a very important memorial for the Japanese Canadians and also a reminder of Canada’s past dark history.
I would rate the attraction as “good” - 3.75 out of 5 rating.
Notes &Tips:
• The Memorial is fairly easy to find. Take Duffy Lake Road and once over the Bridge of the 23 Camels, drive about a minute and you will see the Fort Berens Estate Winery on your left and the “T” intersection in front of you. Make a right turn at Highway 12, drive less than a minute and the Memorial will be on your right.
• Unsupervised site and there is admission fee
• Small parking lot
• Check the National Association of Japanese Canadians website for additional information
• Prior to visiting this memorial, we visited Miyazaki House in Lillooet. Dr Miyazaki served the Village of Lillooet and the surrounding area for many years and was a very important person in Lillooet’s history. After our visit to the Miyazaki heritage house, we went for lunch at May Wong Chinese restaurant also in Lillooet. See my reviews for both sites.Written August 24, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PBPGYorkshire, UK8,490 contributionsAt the far side of the bridge of the twenty three camels this sculpture stands out.

- FranVancouver, Canada21 contributionsThis is a delightful golf experience - with a good dose of challenge including the herd of curious but friendly sheep.
