The Bowron Lakes Circuit has often been rated as one of the top ten canoe trips in the world and with good reason. There is no where else in the world where you can paddle 116km along a chain of lakes without backtracking, and end up at the same spot that you started? The canoe circuit is located within the Bowron Lake Provincial Park.
Bowron Lake Provincial Park is a BC wilderness park covering more than 121,600 hectares (300,352 acres) of land with a system of six major lakes. Making up the canoe circuit are Indianpoint, Isaac, Lanezi, Sandy, Spectacle and Bowron Lakes, the Cariboo and Bowron Rivers, other smaller lakes and streams and several portages. Forming a backdrop are the rugged and majestic Cariboo Mountains. The canoe circuit is 116km (72mi) and paddlers can do the route at their own preferred speed. We will attempt to paddle around the circuit in about 5 – 6 days.
Due to the high mountains the Bowron Lakes are in an area where weather conditions can and do change drastically in extremely short periods of time.
