Fraser Lake is a village in northern British Columbia, Canada. It is located on the southwest side of Fraser Lake[1] between Burns Lake and Vanderhoof alongside the Yellowhead Highway.
The small community's population is primarily employed by either the forest industry, (Fraser Lake Sawmills, or various logging contractors) or the mining industry, (the nearby Endako Mines, a large molybdenum mine). Fraser Lake is also the hometown of Tianda Flegel, winner of The Next Star Season 2.The attractive lakeside community of Fraser Lake lies alongside the Yellowhead Highway, west of the city of Prince George. The pioneer roots of the area's history date back to the fur trade, with the establishment in 1806 of a fur-trading post by Simon Fraser, at Fort Fraser near the east end of Fraser Lake.
The modern day town was established in 1914, during the construction of the Grand Trunk Railway, and was incorporated as a village in 1966.
