Otterhead River

The Otterhead River, a tributary of the Kicking Horse River, winds through the rugged valleys of the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia, feeding its glacier-carved course. Fed by meltwater, the turquoise streams cut through narrow canyons, dense forests and steep mountain slopes before joining the Columbia River at Golden. Recreational highlights include thrilling whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Class III to V sections of the Kicking Horse, peaceful fishing in the clear waters, and hiking along riverside and mountain trails with stunning views of waterfalls and peaks.
