The Historic Goat River Trail was originally commissioned in 1886 as a gold rush trail along the Goat River, and was reportedly used during Prohibition in the early 1900s to deliver bootleg liquor to railway construction camps along the Fraser River. The trail was reactivated by Fraser Headwaters Alliance in the late 1990s to bring attention to environmental issues in the area and protect the Goat River watershed. Funding from the province, announced last month, is part of a $90 million community economic recovery infrastructure program to support economic resilience, tourism, heritage, and economic development. The money will help Fraser Headwaters Alliance with essential upgrades to keep the trail functioning, including fixing a river-crossing cable car system and building a 17-kilometre reroute to move the trail off a deactivated logging road and around a clearcut.
