Everything about Canoe River British Columbia totally explained
Canoe River is a
tributary of the
Columbia River in
British Columbia,
Canada. Its lower reach is flooded by
Mica Dam. The lower Canoe River is called
Canoe Reach, part of the Mica Dam's reservoir,
Kinbasket Lake.
Course
The Canoe River begins in the
Cariboo Mountains, west of
Valemount, British Columbia, and flows east to the vicinity of Valemount, then southeast to join the Columbia River at the "Big Bend" of the Columbia, just upriver from Mica Dam. The reservoir created by Mica Dam, Kinbasket Lake, extends up the Canoe River nearly to Valemount. This impounded portion of the river is called the Canoe Reach of Kinbasket Lake. Although originally the mouth of the Canoe River was at the Big Bend of the Columbia, today it's said to be at the northern end of Canoe Reach.
The main tributaries of Canoe River and Canoe Reach include Camp Creek, Packsaddle Creek, Dave Henry Creek, Yellowjacket Creek, Bulldog Creek, Ptarmigan Creek, Hugh Allan Creek, Grouse Creek, Windfall Creek, Howard Creek, Foster Creek (flows into Foster Arm), Dawson Creek, and, right at Big Bend, Wood River (flows into Wood Arm).
Most of Canoe River, in the form of Canoe Reach, occupies the
Rocky Mountain Trench, the same valley as the upper
Fraser River and its tributary the McLennan River, which reaches to Valemount. The Canoe River and Camp Creek, one of its main tributaries, drain a region just north and east of the headwaters of the
North Thompson River.
History
The Canoe River was named by
David Thompson, who spent the winter near the river's mouth in 1811.
