Swim Drink Fish Interactive Map

Welcome to Fraser Riverkeeper’s interactive map, an educational tool that allows you to find the best places to swim, drink, and fish in British Columbia. The first phase of this map concentrates on beaches in the Fraser River basin, and parallels the launch of the Swim Guide, with the Fish and Drink stages to be come later.

This water quality tool shows fun places to visit, such as parks, historical locations, fishing locations, and beaches. The map also shows a few areas of potential water quality degradation: major industry, aquaculture, combined sewer outfalls, wastewater treatment plants, and more. The map is not comprehensive, and though we will continue expanding the map in time, we have already made a big head start in the Fraser River basin and mapped all the beaches tested regularly for coliforms and/or E.coli by BC’s health authorities. The sample results, if known, are included in the description of the beaches. Please all read our Swim Drink Fish FAQ for more detailed information on the state of our water.

Warning: Please wait a few seconds for the map to completely load before clicking on a point of interest.
