The Green River (English for "green river") is a 31 km long right tributary of the Lillooet River in the Canadian province of British Columbia .
River course
The Green River has its origin in the 633 m high Green Lake north of Whistler in the Pacific Ranges , a part of the Coast Mountains . It leaves the lake at its northern end and initially flows mainly in a northerly direction, later in an easterly direction through the mountains. The Soo River and Rutherford Creek flow into the Green River from the left . Then the Green River overcomes Nairn Falls Provincial Park , the Nairn Falls . The Green River eventually reaches the Pemberton Valley and flows 6 km east-southeast of Pemberton into the Lillooet River. The British Columbia Highway 99 (Whistler-Pemberton) follows the course of the Green Lake until after Pemberton.
Hydrology
The Green River drains an area of approximately 900 km². The mean discharge 12 km above the mouth is 48 m³ / s. The highest monthly outflows usually occur between May and August.
