The South Thompson drains the Shuswap Lake System and flowing gently through the Thompson Valley until it meets the North Thompson in Kamloops. It is another area with sometimes challenging access due to the CP Railway which hugs the south shore and a lot of Private property. However it does have a little more access than the North Thompson. Urban sprawl in Valleyview and Dallas is threatening to take away some of the unofficial public access points that remain. With the increasing population in the area the existing spots are under a great deal of pressure. Much more should be down to preserve river access and protect what sensitive riparian habitat exists that is still undeveloped.
