Wilderness 7-Day Canoe Adventure - Bowron Lakes Circuit in British Columbia
A 116 km family canoe adventure on the Bowron Lakes Circuit in northern British Columbia, Canada.
Bowron Lake Provincial Park is located in northern British Columbia, Canada, about 117 kilometres east of the city of Quesnel. The park is known for its rugged glaciated mountains, cold deep lakes, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife. The main attraction is the 116 km (72 mi) canoe circuit through the Cariboo Mountains, which follows lakes, rivers, and short portages between waterways. This trip takes about a week to complete. An alternative to this trip is the shorter Westside route, which traverses Bowron, Swan, Spectacle, Skoi, Babcock, Unna and Rum lakes. This circuit takes two to four days.
The park is open to a limited number of canoes and kayaks from May 15 to the end of September. By limiting the number of daily departures you're guaranteed a sense of solitude and wilderness.
We were 3 adults and 5 boys in 3 different canoes. We did the trip from July 16-22, 2016. As usual, I'm happy to answer any questions you folks might have. I hope you enjoy this.

Paddling the Bowron Lakes
Bowron Lake Provincial Park is a large wilderness area situated on the western slopes of the Cariboo Mountain Range in eastern British Columbia.
The world-renowned Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit encompasses a 116 km chain of lakes, waterways and connecting portages. The Park is a place of many moods, from bright sunshine and placid blue lakes to angry gray waters and torrential rains.
Bowron Lakes with Sea to Sky Wilderness Adventures
“One of the 10 best canoe trips in the world” Outside Magazine
The 116 km Bowron Lakes circuit is comprised of 6 major lakes which are inter-connected by a series of portages and rivers. The circuit forms a rectangle. It could not have been better laid out if it had been designed by a landscape architect. Paddlers begin and end at the same spot.
Much of the backcountry paddle abuts the magnificent Cariboo Mountain Range. Bowron Lakes Park is a cornucopia of glacial mountains, cascades and waterfalls, crystal clear waters, virgin forest, and photographic opportunities.
