The Fraser River

The Fraser Canyon The Fraser River is the largest fish producing water course in the province. The Fraser is also the worlds largest supporter of the spawning Sockeye salmon.

It is one of the most commercially rafted rivers in the world. In the Canyon the river is wedged between the Cascade Mountain Range and the Coastal Pacific Mountain Range. The narrow rock canyon walls cut a windy and narrow passage for the mighty Fraser that rips through this vigorous landscape.
