Bridge River Rapids, Rapids in Fraser River, British Columbia.
The Bridge River Rapids form a narrow section of the Fraser River where water flows intensely through constricted banks at 304 meters elevation.
The water flow patterns changed substantially in 1958 when the Bridge River Power Project altered the natural fountain characteristics during spring freshets.
Indigenous groups established specific fishing platforms along these rapids, with allocated spots for different bands to catch salmon during seasonal runs.
Access requires permission from the Bridge River Indian Band, and visitors need to park at designated areas 6 miles north of Cayoosh Creek.
Local fishers utilize specialized rain-resistant structures that extend over the rapids, combined with drying racks that benefit from natural winds.
