The Fraser River runs 1400 kilometres (870 miles) from Mt. Robson to the
Pacific Ocean. In 1808, Simon Fraser canoed down the river (that bears his name) searching for a route to the Pacific. The river is now used extensively for recreation and commercial purposes (including rafting and fishing). |
