Known as Sat' in the local Indigenous language ("Shatl"), also known as the Six Mile Rapids or Six Mile. Rock ledges flanking a narrow but fierce falls on the Fraser, at the confluence with the Bridge River. Created in legend by the trickster-spirit Coyote jumping back and forth from bank to bank to create the ledges for people to use for fishing. Thousands of years old as a gathering site for Indigenous peoples from around the Interior, active fishing site with fish drying racks (wind-dried salmon is a local delicacy).
Built in 1911, now decommissioned but open to foot/bike traffic, 1911-vintage suspension bridge that for decades was the town's only road access to the outside world. At the mouth of Lillooet Canyon, a rough-water gorge between the Fishing Grounds at Six Mile and this spot, where the Fraser opens wider onto gold-bearing bars in front of town.
A heritage house preserving the memory and history of the Phair and Miyazaki families who lived in it. It is used for community events and local artwork displays.
Stone cairn commemorating Lillooet's place as mile zero on the Old Cariboo Wagon Road from Lillooet to Alexandria (the old Gold Rush trail).
This museum takes a look at Lillooet's history with pioneer and Gold Rush era equipment and tools, native artifacts, historic photos and Ma Murray's news office (a prominent local historical figure), including her old printing presses.
