Rearguard Falls Provincial Park

Rearguard Falls Provincial Park in British Columbia protects Rearguard Falls on the Fraser River near Tete Jaune Cache, just above where the river enters the Rocky Mountain Trench and close to Highway 16. The park preserves one of the Fraser’s uncommon breaks in flow, as Rearguard Falls is one of only two waterfalls along the river’s 1,375-kilometre length, with Overlander Falls nearby upstream. It is particularly valued as a place to observe Chinook salmon returning to spawn, giving the site importance as both a scenic destination and a view into a recurring seasonal event on the Fraser.
