Likely is located in, as we think, the most beautiful Province of Canada, British Columbia. B.C. is also the most frequented Province of tourists. With all it's wonderful scenery and pure nature at its best, it's not only worth to visit it, it's also beautiful to live here. Check out the pictures of the surrounding area.
Likely is a friendly rural centre at the end of a paved road. It is a little over an hour from the City of Williams Lake and just eight hours, (an easy day’s drive), from Vancouver. It has an active chamber of commerce, an elementary and junior high school, general store, pub, community centre, nondenominational church, post office, gift shop, laundry mat, fire department and retail outlets for gas, diesel and propane.

High Country Inn is situated on the sunny side of the valley wall overlooking the quaint rural Community of Likely on Quesnel Lake, the second deepest fjord lake in the world. The area reflects a fascinating era with many original historic artifacts and sites on the famous Gold Rush Trail.
From the trendy, upscale “Village Garden Restaurant,” or any of the motel rooms, patrons enjoy a magnificent view of the landscaped grounds, garden waterfall, lake and village in beautiful natural surroundings.
Likely is at the mouth of the lake where crystal clear water empties into the Quesnel River. The long slender arms of Quesnel Lake reach into the Cariboo Mountains and in either direction, the view from High Country Inn is outstanding!

The area around Quesnel Lake is a very popular recreational destination. The lake is glacial fed, 137 km long with 523 km of interesting shoreline wrapped around 30,255 hectares of water.

In addition to this impressive lake, there are over 148 smaller lakes within a 36 km radius of the Inn and the rivers are internationally renowned for fly fishing. Beautiful sandy beaches and numerous lakeside parks make this part of the Cariboo a family favourite. The opportunities are endless for healthy outdoor activities in this pollution free environment.
Crisp sunny days are common in winter, attracting many snowboarders, cross country skiers and snowmobilers to the surrounding alpine areas from November to May. Vistas of wild flowers in spring and early summer are especially lush in this central Cariboo region.
