Anderson River is a tributary of the Fraser River in the Canadian province of British Columbia.

The river is presumably named after Alexander Caulfield Anderson of the Hudson's Bay Company who travelled through the region in 1847–48.[1]

Course

The Anderson River originates near Coquihalla Pass and flows generally west and north, joining the Fraser River in the Fraser Canyon, near Boston Bar.
