About upstream from Princeton the river drops over Similkameen Falls. There are numerous viewpoints of the river from the highway, the most popular being Bromley Rock, where it is possible to swim in the river from a spectacular sandy beach, although the water is very cold. It contributes 75 percent of the flow of the Okanogan River and crosses the international border at Nighthawk, Washington.
