Silver Hilton Steelhead Lodge

FreshwaterBabine River, below Babine Lake — Skeena watershed

The only way into Silver Hilton, a steelhead fly-fishing lodge on the Babine River in northern British Columbia, is by private helicopter from Smithers. Guests stay at one of two camps, the main lodge or the smaller Triple Header, and the guides run jet boats over more than 20 miles of river. The lodge was built in 1984, and in its nine-week season returning guests get first claim on their usual week.
