Goldstream River (Columbia River tributary)

River in British Columbia, Canada

This article is about the river in the Selkirk Mountains north of Revelstoke, British Columbia. For the identically-named river near Victoria, British Columbia, see Goldstream River (Vancouver Island).

The Goldstream River is a tributary of the Columbia River, joining that stream via the Lake Revelstoke reservoir after running largely west from the heart of the northern Selkirk Mountains. The river's name derives from the Big Bend Gold Rush of 1865, during which it was the scene of busy prospecting and mining activities and as one of the centres of the rush.
