Originating in Garibaldi Provincial Park, the Cheakamus River winds for over 40 miles (65 kilometers) through the Canadian wilderness, eventually joining the Squamish River at Cheekye. Its turquoise waters are a striking feature, rushing through swirling rapids and narrowing into the dramatic Cheakamus Canyon. Along the Sea to Sky Highway, visitors can enjoy the river’s scenic beauty and partake in popular activities such as fishing and white-water rafting, making it a dynamic and engaging natural attraction.
