About

The Fraser River, BC's longest waterway, offers diverse paddling experiences from the Rocky Mountain headwaters to the Pacific delta, though most recreational paddling focuses on specific sections. The upper Fraser near Prince George provides gentle Class I current through boreal forest and farmland, while the lower Fraser offers flat-water touring past urban landscapes and delta marshes. Wildlife viewing opportunities include sturgeon, salmon, and migratory birds, especially in the delta region. Best conditions occur from May through October with varying access points. Multiple put-ins exist along highways and urban areas from Prince George to Vancouver.
