Rearguard Falls Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

This short trail leads you to Rearguard Falls, which is the upper reach of the annual salmon spawning run. There's a wheelchair accessible viewpoint a short distance from the parking area, and a second one at the end of the trail that looks directly over the falls.

Rearguard Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The Rearguard Falls are famous for salmon migration. The almost 1,300-kilometre-long migration of salmon from the Pacific Ocean up the Fraser River to spawn ends at the foot of the falls. Only Chinook, the largest and strongest salmon, make it that far up. In late summer, they can be observed here.
