BLUE RIVER
Is a community situated on the north Thompson River, 230 kilometers north of Kamloops on the Yellowhead Highway (Highway #5) just outside of the east entrance to Wells Gray Provincial Park. A heli-skiing operation has attracted many visitors from around the world to Blue River which is named after the color of the surrounding hillside. The community’s economy relies on logging and tourism. Lake Eleanor, near downtown offers good swimming and a really good beach. Blue River used to be a railway division point, but does have services for passing motorists. The Cariboo Mountains are just to the north of Blue River.
