Bridge River, BC.

It eventually merges with the Fraser River near Lillooet town. Can be heavy silt, no other details.

Fraser River, BC.

Good for salmon but it is swift and filled with silt. In its wider stretches it races along and in the narrow gorges it becomes a 30 knot maelstrom of boiling water, conflicting currents, submerged rocks and whirlpools that can suck a boat down in seconds. Has anyone dived here?!
