Dutch
Lake Resort, Clearwater, BC,
Canada |
|
|
Welcome to the Motor Vessel Yukon Queen. You will be
propelled only by
the turning of the paddle wheel at the stern of this
vessel. This working
sternwheel vessel was constructed in 1964 and then
renovated in
1985 for Expo in Vancouver, British Columbia. |
| |
Today, there are few sternwheelers
in
existence. They are an
important part of the history
of the North
Thompson Valley.
Eagles,
osprey, turkey vultures, loons, Canadian Geese and more
may be seen on
this ride.
During the
fall, tour the
lake and see the vibrant
colors of the season.

One of the most asked
questions is "How did Dutch Lake get it's name?"
Dutch Lake was originally
named "Deutch" Lake for the two German bachelor homesteaders who resided
on opposite sides of the lake. Over time, "Deutch"
Lake was later
changed to Dutch Lake. For the Dutch people aboard today,
we say that
the lake was named for the Dutch water lilies around the shores
of the
lake which were transplanted from Holland in 1946.
**While aboard the MV
Yukon Queen you will hear the history of the
sternwheeler and Dutch Lake Resort as well as information on
Clearwater and Wells Gray Provincial Park.**
