About this river

Sooes River

The Sooke River is a river on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The river is approximately 45 kilometers in length, and it flows from the Sooke Hills to the Sooke Basin. The river has played an important role in the history of the area, as it was used by the local First Nations for fishing, and later by European settlers for logging and agriculture. Today, the river is used for hydroelectric power generation, with the Sooke Dam and Reservoir being the largest hydroelectric facility on Vancouver Island. The river is also popular for recreational activities, such as fishing, kayaking, and swimming, and it is a source of irrigation for local agriculture. The Sooke River provides an important source of water for the surrounding communities, and efforts are being made to protect its natural habitat and wildlife.
