For the settlement on the river, see [Holmes River, British Columbia](/source/Holmes_River,_British_Columbia).

The **Holmes River** is a tributary of the upper [Fraser River](/source/Fraser_River) in the [Robson Valley](/source/Robson_Valley) region of [British Columbia](/source/British_Columbia), [Canada](/source/Canada), entering that river southeast of the village of [McBride](/source/McBride,_British_Columbia). The river was named after Albert W. Holmes, provincial forest ranger at McBride.[1] "Beaver River" is or was the local name, probably referring to a distinctive rock formation.[1]
