Hightlights

Considered one of the top 10 canoe trips in the world, the Bowron Lakes chain is for canoeists who want a challenge, all the while experiencing the incredibly diverse topography of this wilderness expanse. We think it's an absolute must for the paddling enthusiast!
 

What's involved?

The 116-km (73-mile) journey consists of 106 km of paddling and 10 km of portaging. On the portages, some uphill, you will carry your pack, put your share of the group gear in the canoe and pull the canoe on 2-wheeled carriers. Although the portages are hard work, we take frequent rest stops and set a pace which is comfortable for all participants. Good health, reasonable fitness and a positive attitude towards the possible inconveniences of inclement weather and wilderness travel are the main components of your self-evaluation.
