"The little village of Fauquier resides on Lower Arrow Lake, on the eastern side of the Needles Ferry terminal. Another free highway ferry crosses Upper Arrow Lake at Shelter Bay/Galena Bay (Highway 23).

Upper Arrow Lake and Lower Arrow Lake are widened portions of the Columbia River as it wends its way south to the US border. The Arrow Lakes are situated between the Selkirk Mountains to the east and the Monashee Mountains to the west. The lake shores feature rocky headlands and steep cliffs, with mountain sides that are heavily forested and rise sharply to elevations around 2,600 metres.

The present townsite didn’t exist until the 1960s, but it is evident that some of the houses are older than that, as many people moved their homes to Fauquier, off land to be flooded when BC Hydro dammed the lake. If you’re struggling with pronouncing the name, try “folkier” – easier to say and easy to remember.

The village is home to about 300 people, with most of the services that travelers might require."
