NAHATLATCH VALLEY

Waterfalls, pristine lakes, lush forests and a wild river are waiting for you in the heart of the Nahatlatch.  One of the main attractions in the Nahatlatch Valley is its world-class whitewater. Rafters and kayakers come from all over the globe to paddle its near-continuous Class III-V rapids, which are among the most exciting and challenging in western Canada. There are 37 rapids in the 14 kilometres from Francis Lake to the Fraser River. The river is commercially rafted in the early summer.

Camping is available at Nahatlatch Provincial Park, along the upper Nahatlatch River.

There are three jade-green lakes in the Nahatlatch Valley that offer boating, fishing and relaxation.

  • Francis Lake (25 km)
  • Hannah Lake (26 km)
  • Nahatlatch Lake (29 km) – the largest

To reach the Nahatlatch Valley

Turn off Highway 1 at Boston Bar, cross the Cog Harrington Bridge into North Bend, and follow the winding road into the valley.

Be sure to check with the Hope, Cascades & Canyon’s Visitor Centre at 919 Water Ave. Hope, BC for up to date information on road conditions into the Nahatlatch Park.
