Rearguard Falls Provincial Park, Provincial park with waterfall in Fraser-Fort George, Canada
The Rearguard Falls Provincial Park features cascading waters on the Fraser River, forming natural barriers amid forested slopes and mountain landscapes.
The provincial park, established in August 1991, preserves a critical section of the Fraser River where Indigenous communities maintained traditional fishing practices.
The park demonstrates British Columbia's commitment to environmental protection through its designation as an IUCN category III natural monument.
Visitors can access multiple viewing platforms near the falls through a network of maintained trails that start from the parking area on Highway 16.
The falls mark one of only two waterfalls along the entire 1,375-kilometer length of the Fraser River where Chinook salmon perform their upstream migration.
