One major industry of Anahim Lake is forestry. This industry has been hurt by the pine beetle epidemic sweeping through Western Canada. In the summer of 2006, the lumber mill of Anahim Lake closed down and laid off dozens of mill workers. However, the mill has recently re-opened at half capacity. Other local industries include cattle farming, sport fishing, and mushroom picking. The area is famous for its numerous world-class fresh water fishing lodges and resorts that bring in enthusiasts from around the world.

Anahim Lake is home to National Hockey League Vezina Trophy winner and Olympic gold medalist Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens.
