The Robson River is a short but swift, rapid and waterfall-infested river in Mount Robson Provincial Park of British Columbia.[3] It is a tributary of the Upper Fraser River and it originates near Robson Pass, which divides the Robson River and the headwaters of the Smoky River drainage. There are three lakes along the river's course as well as four waterfalls.
