Birkenhead River, Mountain brook in British Columbia, Canada
The Birkenhead River extends for 57.3 kilometers through British Columbia, featuring gravel beds that create changing patterns in the water flow.
The river, previously named Portage River and Pole River, served as a crucial part of the Douglas Road transportation route during British Columbia's development.
The waterway holds importance for the Lil'wat people of the St'at'imc nation, who maintain fishing grounds near Mount Currie reserve community.
Anglers can access the river via Portage Road, located 10 minutes north of Pemberton, with multiple parking areas and walking trails.
The river supports five salmon and trout species, with Bull Trout reaching weights of 4 kilograms and salmon up to 23 kilograms.
