Boston
Bar, BC was named after settlers from Boston who
landed on the sandbars to find gold successfully. In their search, Boston
Bar was born. With time, the community became a railway community with both
CPR and CNR passing through these narrow canyon walls. Today this community
has grown into tourism and is now the gateway to some of the most beautiful
camping in the world! This is a great place to stay as part of your trip to
the canyon. If you are a camping lover, visit some of the awesome camping
areas accessible only through Boston Bar, like the Nahatlatch River Valley,
Skuzzy Creek, Anderson Cree
k,
North Bend, and more!
If you are a railway buff you can view the CNR and CPR as both rail
stations. Across the Fraser River from Boston Bar is North Bend. There is an
outdoor pool to cool down in those hot summer days. Located only 10 minutes
from Hells Gate Airtram and 15 minutes from Blue Lake Resort, include Boston
Bar in your next trip to the Fraser Canyon.

Although nobody has ever known to be hurt or killed by Nah-Noose, locals are still mildly afraid of this giant unknown creature.
