The Cheakamus River is known for its blue and turquoise water and the dramatic canyon it thunders through. The color comes from glacial melt from the nearby Coast Mountains. Hikers and bikers will pass rock cliffs and gorges carved by centuries of rushing water. The Cheakamus River is often dotted with fly fishers fishing for rainbow trout and bull trout. When the water is flowing strongly, whitewater paddlers brave the cold waters. In the fall, the surrounding trees turn amazing colors.

Hiking

Pure nature, numerous rest areas, and the interplay of sun and shade offer plenty of variety. Bring sufficient equipment; it might take a few minutes before you meet someone.

Hiking

Whistler village is encroaching on the river, not all trails are open due to large construction projects nearby. But once you are on the trail, civilisation can easily be forgotten.
