Fraser River

The Fraser River is one of the longest rivers in Canada, stretching about 1,375 kilometers (850 miles) from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. It flows through British Columbia and is crucial for the region's ecosystem, economy, and culture. The river is known for its stunning scenery, supporting diverse wildlife, and is vital for industries like fishing, forestry, and tourism. Cities like Vancouver and Prince George are located along its banks. The Fraser is also historically significant, having been a key route for Indigenous peoples and later European explorers and settlers.
