Raft River Viewing Park

Located approximately 5.0 km north of Wells Gray Information Centre just off Highway #5 adjacent to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. This park serves as a cultural icon to the Simpcw First Nations, the viewing platform allows for users to be able to enjoy the salmon run in late August, early September of each year. During the third week of August the Simpcw First Nations in partnership with the Municipality, the Community Resource Centre and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans hosts the “First Fish Ceremony” and the second week of September a three day School Program is run for the schools in the area to come and learn about the Simpcw First Nations and their cultural and history.
