Canoeing and
Kayaking in the Thompson Nicola
For easygoing paddling, the North Thompson River is perfect.
Use North Thompson
River Provincial Park as your base. The current gently pulls paddlers
downstream all the way to Kamloops,
although you'll need several days to cover the entire distance.
To canoe the long and skinny Kinbasket Lake, start at Canoe
Reach at Valemount (near the north end of the lake, just south of
Tete Jaune Cache on Hwy 5) and work your way south. There's a boat
launch beside Hwy 16 in Mount
Robson Provincial Park that provides access to Moose Lake and
Yellowhead Lake in the park.
For an even more peaceful experience, head to Murtle Lake in
Wells Gray Provincial
Park. This lake has over 62 miles (100 km) of shoreline. Providing
visitors with a quiet wilderness experience is the goal and motorboats
and combustion engines are not permitted. Murtle is noted for excellent
fishing, trails leading into the high alpine of Wavy Range and Central
Mountain, wildlife viewing and beautiful white sand beaches. Campers
are required to stay in designated sites, many of which have pit toilets,
fire rings, and food caches. Camping permits are to be purchased in
Blue River on Hwy 5.
Clearwater and Azure Lakes provide a 100 km round trip
for canoeists. Camping in designated sites is required; there are
twelve camping areas on the lakes, two of which are for canoeists
only. Clearwater and Azure are noted for good fishing and beautiful
scenery. Canoe rentals are available at Clearwater Lake Campground.
Camping permits are purchased at the boat launch. Mahood Lake,
on the western side of Wells Gray Provincial Park, is a pretty area,
popular wish fishermen as well as canoeists. There are no designated
sites, and no marine camping fees are charged. Pay particular attention
at the outlet of the lake, as the Mahood River is very rough and dangerous,
with rapids and waterfalls.
Canoeing and Kayaking in the Nicola Valley/Coquihalla Highway
The various parks around Lac Le Jeune offer plenty of opportunities
for canoeing. Lac Le Jeune is one of the bigger lakes in a region
characterized by hundreds of pocket-sized ponds, many of which provide
serenity in the midst of splendid isolation. Get a Merritt Forest
District recreation map and pick out a recreation site that appeals
to you, or stop by their office in Merritt
at the intersection of Hwy 5A and Airport Road. Parks in the area
include Lac Le Jeune
Provincial Park and Stake-McConnell
Lakes Provincial Park. |
