Coquihalla River, Mountain river in Cascade Mountains, British Columbia, Canada.
The Coquihalla River flows through a deep, narrow valley over 53 kilometers, descending 1,000 meters before joining the Fraser River at Hope.
The river's name originates from the Halkomelem term Kw'ikw'iyá:la, referring to a deep pool near its mouth where native people speared suckerfish.
The Stó:lō people tell stories of s'ó:lmexw, underwater beings near the river mouth that made catching fish particularly difficult in ancient times.
The river maintains an average flow of 29.8 cubic meters per second near Hope, with water levels varying between 3 and 650 cubic meters per second.
The Coquihalla Highway follows the river's course for 50 kilometers from Hope to the former toll booth, providing access through the Cascade Mountains.
