Clearwater is a district municipality in the North Thompson River valley in British Columbia, Canada, 124A km (77A mi) north of Kamloops. Tourism is also a major industry, with Wells Gray Provincial Park just to the north. The park encompasses 5,250 square kilometres, with four rivers, six major lakes, and 39 named waterfalls, including Canada’s fourth highest, Helmcken Falls. A municipal government was incorporated in December 2007.
The Overlanders expedition to the Cariboo goldfields rafted down the North Thompson River in 1862. When they arrived at the mouth of the Clearwater River, they named it for its distinct clarity compared to the muddy North Thompson. The Overlanders also named Raft Mountain which rises northeast of Clearwater to a height of 2,450A m (8,038A ft).
