Canoeing and Kayaking - British Columbia

Canoeing and Kayaking - British Columbia


Canoes are traditional form of transportation along British Columbia's numerous lakes and rivers. You can rent one at many of the more popular lakes, but if you bring your own you can slip into any body of water whenever you please, taking in the scenery and viewing wildlife from water level.


One of the most popular canoe routes is in 'Bowron Lake Provincial Park', where a 117km-long circuit leads through a chain of lakes in the 'Cariboo Mountains'.

Shorter but no less challenging is the 'Powell Forest Canoe Route' on the Sunshine Coast. Other, less-travelled destinations include 'Slocan Lake', 'Wells Gray Provincial Park', and the 'Stikine River'.

The province's long coastline is great for sea kayaking, and rentals are available in most coastal communities. The 'Gulf Islands' are ideal for kayakers of all experience levels, while destinations such as 'Desolation Sound', the Broken Group Islands, and the Queen Charlotte Islands are the domain of experienced paddlers.
