Alkali Lake is an unincorporated community in the Cariboo region of the Central Interior of British Columbia , Canada , located 40 kilometres south of the city of Williams Lake en route to Dog Creek and the Gang Ranch . The settlement, and the adjoining reserves of the Alkali Lake Indian Band , get their name from Alkali Lake , which gets its name from an outcrop of alkali on the hillside above it; the lake itself is not an alkali lake .[1]
The economy of the area is based on cattle ranching and small scale tourism, although in the past it was important as a way station on one of the various trails to the Cariboo goldfields farther north.
