Kayakers and surfers may want to keep an eye on the City of Quesnel as a possible future destination for catching the next big wave. Quesnel, located in the Cariboo region between Prince George and Williams Lake, is a municipality where three rivers meet, the Fraser, the Quesnel and Baker Creek. In an effort to revitalize the city's waterfront and encourage more tourism and investment, city council is considering building a permanent river wave people can ride recreationally. An artist's rendering from the City of Quesnel's 2019 Waterfront Plan shows people looking at what appears to be a naturally occuring river wave that is in fact man-made. The mayor said an exact location along the waterfront where the wave would be located has yet to be determined.
