  • District Of Mackenzie Advertisement
    Mackenzie, BC

    The sky's the limit in Mackenzie, BC

    For larger than life adventures, Mackenzie is the ideal location. Mackenzie lies at the southern end of Williston Lake, the largest man-made reservoir in British Columbia. Mackenzie is a recreational hub with natural and recreational trail systems in place that increase accessibility to the area's outdoor recreation potential. Mackenzie's wilderness setting brings residents and visitors alike into contact with the area's diverse wildlife population. The community was virtually carved out of the wilderness in the mid 1960s to service large pulp and lumber manufacturing facilities. Forest industry operations continue as the primary economic engine of Mackenzie.
