Thompson River

The Thompson River is a major river in British Columbia, Canada, known for its scenic beauty and outdoor recreational opportunities. It flows approximately 200 kilometers (124 miles) from the southern interior of the province, winding through canyons and valleys before joining the Fraser River near Lytton. The river is significant for its rich ecosystem, supporting wildlife and fish populations, and it also has historical importance, having played a key role in the region's Indigenous cultures and the gold rush in the 19th century. Today, it is popular for activities like fishing, rafting, and hiking.
