The Bridge River Rapids, also known as Six Mile Rapids, are a dramatic set of whitewater rapids on the Fraser River north of Lillooet, where the Bridge River flows in from the west. The confluence creates powerful hydraulics that have been a significant salmon fishery for the St'át'imc people for millennia. During the salmon run in late summer, you can watch traditional dip-net fishing from the banks, one of the most visually striking fishing traditions in Canada.
The road north from Lillooet along the east bank of the Fraser brings you here after about 10 kilometres. The canyon narrows considerably at this point and the river is violent and dramatic. Even when the salmon aren't running, the rapids themselves are spectacular. The area is also a nesting site for raptors, and California bighorn sheep are sometimes visible on the canyon walls above.
