One of our most famous residents has to be the majestic Bald Eagle!

In winter large numbers of bald eagles gather on the banks of rivers throughout the region to feed on the large numbers of spawning salmon. Awe inspiring to watch, viewers can get up close and personal with these majestic birds by booking a float trip down the river, or by watching from a distance at the Brackendale Eagle Reserve.

The highest concentration of eagles can be found along the Squamish, Mamquam and Cheakamus Rivers in Sea to Sky Country, or along the banks of the Harrison River in Mighty Fraser Country.

Eagle rafting combines the excitement of rafting with the thrill of seeing bald eagles. Operators in Squamish and Harrison offer trips through the eagle-watching season (Nov - Jan).
