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
