History:
This beautiful lodge, snuggled among evergreens on the north-west cliff of Bowron Lake was built by expert axemen for an American syndicate in the 1930’s, the first managers being Grover Youngs and his wife, Elsie. From its vantage point it looks up the full length of the lake to a panorama of park-enclosed mountains.
Originally this property belonged to Louis LeBourdais, a Quesnel resident born in Clinton, who was the telegrapher in Quesnel for the Dominion Government Telegraph service in the 1920’s and 30’s. In 1927, he was voted in as Liberal member for the Cariboo, following which he saw Army service in World War II. The Lebourdais name is commemorated in Quesnel where a park near the museum and an outlying school are so named. For many years Becker’s Lodge was known as Cariboo Hunting and Fishing Lodge. A full range of catering was always offered ---meals, fishing, canoeing, and guiding for hunters.
Eventually Grover Youngs and wife sold the business to Colonel and Mrs. Parker, also Americans, who continued the service. In turn, the Parkers sold to Cleanor Crump and Stan Ross, who resold to Frank and Ruth Cushman. They are the only past owners to remain in the vicinity. In 1939, the Cushmans sold to Fred and Dodie Becker who changed the name to Becker’s Canoe Outfitters Lodge and Restaurant. In 1981 poor health prompte another change in ownership to Kaye Green and Lon Wertz who then sold it the present owners, Lothar and Bettina Vollmer.
