Tyaughton Lake in Gold Bridge, British Columbia, about 125 miles north of Vancouver, is home to Tyax Wilderness Resort & Spa. This glacier-fed lake—known to local Indigenous peoples as the “lake of jumping fish”—lies within 275 acres of secluded, forested land beneath the Southern Chilcotin Mountains. The setting is ideal for outdoor adventure, intimate getaways, and corporate retreats.
The resort offers a wide range of activities to suit different interests and skill levels. On the water, guests can enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and boating. Horseback riding and cycling explore nearby trails, and guided hikes reveal alpine scenery and abundant wildlife. For a unique aerial perspective, the resort arranges tours aboard a classic 1951 de Havilland Beaver seaplane that flies over Bridge Glacier and the Lillooet Icefield. Flight options include glacier landings and guided hikes from Glacier Lake, providing unforgettable access to remote terrain.
Accommodations are centered on a welcoming log-cabin lodge with 29 guestrooms. Each room is thoughtfully appointed with complimentary WiFi, Sealy pillow-top mattresses, feather pillows, 32-inch flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, iPod docking stations, and locally inspired artwork. Bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs for relaxing after a day outdoors. For guests seeking a more rustic experience, the resort also offers camping; campsite guests may use resort amenities for an additional fee.
The property’s wellness facilities support both relaxation and active recovery. The spa includes an infrared sauna, a traditional dry sauna, an eucalyptus steam room, an outdoor hot tub, and a dedicated yoga studio—perfect for stretching before a hike or unwinding in the evening. Dining at the resort emphasizes regional ingredients and relaxed service. The dining room and lakeside patio offer scenic views, while a cozy lounge and den provide comfortable spaces to socialize, read, or enjoy a quiet drink by the fire.
Tyax Wilderness Resort & Spa blends remote natural beauty with comfortable amenities and a wide variety of outdoor experiences. Whether you come for active adventure—horseback riding, glacier flights, or paddle sports—or to relax in the spa and soak in lakeside views, the resort provides a balanced retreat where wilderness and comfort meet.
