Coldwater River, Brook in British Columbia, Canada

The Coldwater River extends 94 kilometers from Zupkios Peak in the Cascade Mountains to its junction with the Nicola River at Merritt.

The Nlaka'pamux First Nations established their presence in the Coldwater Valley during the early 1800s, maintaining deep connections to this waterway.

The river's name originates from the Shuswap language, reflecting the continuously cold water temperatures that remain below 10°C until July.

The river system spans 915 square kilometers, supporting multiple fish species including Coho salmon, Chinook salmon, and Steelhead in different sections.

The 2021 Pacific Northwest floods caused substantial changes to the river's course, affecting roads, residential areas, and the surrounding infrastructure.
