Foster Bar is a gold-bearing sandbar in the Fraser Canyon of British Columbia, Canada as well as the name used for the surrounding locality, which includes the Foster Bar Indian Reserve of the Lytton First Nation of the Nlaka'pamux people. Foster Bar is notable for being one of the first places on the Fraser to be mined for gold in the mid-1850s , a few years in advance of the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush of 1858. Foster Bar remained mportant during the gold rush as a junction between the River Trail and a route that led through the Clear Range via Laluwissen Creek to Upper Hat Creek to connect to the Brigade Trail beyond.
