This cemetery is at the end of the historic Dewdney Trail and the vanished town of Fisherville, British Columbia. Some of the graves have wooden markers but none have names.There has been some maintenance by the local historical society in the past. The gold rush brought placer miners to Fisherville in the mid 1860's but the rush fizzled out within only a few years. Temporary town names of Wild Horse, Kootenai and Kootenay are also associated with this cemetery but Fisherville is the name most used. Starting at Fort Steele Historic Park drive onto the Wardner-Fort Steele Road. Almost immediately turn left onto the Wild Horse Forest Service Road. Parts of the Wild Horse Forest Service Road cling to the side of a mountain and sometimes drivers have to yield to oncoming traffic. The gravel road is narrow in places with sheer drops where the Wild Horse Creek has carved deep canyons.Approximately six kilometres up the Wild Horse Forest Service Road is a small dirt road off to the right. The cemetery and its signage is visible from the Forest Service Road at this point.
