Goat River (Fraser River)
The Goat River is a tributary of the Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada. Starting in the northern reaches of the Cariboo Mountains, it flows eastward and northeastward to join the Fraser near the settlement of Crescent Spur in the Robson Valley. Including its main tributary, the Milk River, its watershed covers . Other major tributaries for the river include McLeod, North Star, Whitehorse, Quartz, Diggings and Kendall creeks.
==History==
The river valley was an important travel route between the Robson Valley and the forested plateaus of the Bowron Lakes region for First Nations people. After the Cariboo Gold Rush began, a pack trail along the old route was opened to connect the goldfields with the Fraser. It was surveyed by Robert Buchanan, who gave the river its current name. Later, the trail was used to supply illicit liquor to the dry camps constructing the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway through the Robson Valley. After the construction of the rail line, the route fell into disuse.
The area was mostly unvisited until the 1980s, when logging activities commenced in the river valley. A road was constructed up the lower river into the Milk River valley. In 1998 the Fraser Headwaters Alliance, an environmental advocacy group based in Dunster began opposition to the expansion of logging in the watershed. The FHA constructed a major hiking trail through the drainage in order to promote the natural beauty of the area. Between 1998 and 2000 a new bridge and road into the upper river valley was constructed by a logging company, McBride Forest Industries, based in nearby McBride. Timber licenses in the upper drainage were approved by the provincial government. In the early 2000s resistance by local groups and the high costs of accessing the upper river forced MFI to abandon its logging plans.〔
