Unfortunately, the northern California town of Virgin River is a place of fiction—major bummer, I know. That doesn't stop people from asking Robyn Carr, who wrote the novels that inspired Virgin River , where the idyllic town it's based on is.

Carr told Entertainment Weekly , "I have to remind them that it only exists in our hearts and minds. Yet, Carr believes the feel of Virgin River can be just about anywhere: "But to further that thought, we can have that sense of community in our own neighborhood or school or church group or community center or library association. All we have to do is try to create it. Which is just what the show creators did, but in Canada. But your best bet at a real-life town with a Virgin River feel is Snug Cove, a 3,person community in Bowen Island.

Per Vancouver's tourism website—which has an entire page dedicated to Virgin River —"Snug Cove anchors the show as the fictional town of Virgin River, with establishing shots including the local library, main streets and Artisan Lane.

Interestingly, Virgin River is an actual river in the Colorado river, albeit a small one that has nothing to do with Virgin River the show. But if you're looking for ideas for a Virgin River trip, you probably shouldn't visit the river itself. Instead, you should go to British Columbia and hunt down some of your favorite spots in Virgin River. Here, our handy-dandy guide to how you can find these locations IRL.
