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.

Today, it is popular for activities like fishing, rafting, and hiking.
