The Fraser River basin is one of British Columbia's most valued ecosystems, draining one-quarter of the province. Its headwaters are located near Moose Lake in the Rocky Mountains. The northern part of the river follows a north-west path before heading south starting just north from Prince George. The Fraser River then flows 600 km before turning to the west, near Hope, B.C., and flowing in a south-westerly direction to the Pacific Ocean. The river has two major tributaries which affect its flow and water quality: the Nechako River which merges with the Fraser River at Prince George; and the Thompson River which flows into the Fraser River at Lytton, B.C., approximately 95 km north from Hope. These two tributaries contribute 41% of the total Fraser River flow at Hope: the Thompson River contributes 30% and the Nechako River contributes 11%.
