Canoeing combined with hiking is the best way to see Wells Gray Park. The three day canoeing adventure allows you to see Clearwater Lake by canoe and includes many shore hikes along the way. Hiking trails lead to spectacular views of waterfalls and mountain scenery. Wildlife sightings are common and the trout fishing is excellent. We also offer a six day canoe trip deep into the heart of Wells Gray Park. These trips take the visitor up the Clearwater and Azure Lakes, two of the premier canoeing lakes in British Columbia. Wildlife viewing on both lakes is excellent as wolf, deer, and moose are frequently seen. No canoeing experience is needed as your guides are also instructors and all trip members will have the opportunity to perfect Canadian canoeing techniques.

  • Reviewer: Mike Borger located in Pottstown, Pennsylvania
    I just wanted to let you know that I had an incredible time out in Victoria! The two trips you set up for me were a blast, especially the Botanical Beach hike along the Juan de Fuca Trail. The rainforest is truly amazing. All and all it was a great time and I think I may find myself making a home there in the next few years.

    Thanks for your help in arranging my vacation to Vancouver Island. It was GREAT! The kayaking outfitter was very professional, their food was really good, the equipment excellent and their guide fantastic. I even enjoyed Victoria's city centre on a rented bicycle. Your hotel arrangements were good. I would really consider going back to Pacific Rim National Park again and maybe taking a friend with me. I will be checking your website all winter long as I remember a good trip.

    The Yukon canoe trip was great. The only problem was that it ended too soon. I look forward to doing another trip with you next year.

Itinerary

Day 1:
After a 10:00 am pickup, you have a scenic one hour drive to Clearwater Lake and the trips starting point. You start with a bit of canoe instruction, and then paddle approximately four hours to a beautiful sandy beach campsite. All campsites have outhouses, tables, firepits, and tent sites.

Day 2:
Paddle north up Clearwater Lake for two hours and reach the mouth of the Clearwater River. You take 30 minute to paddle up the river to the portage site, and then carry the gear and equipment across the portage to Azure Lake. The portage is about one kilometer and will take two hours to unload, carry the route, and reload the canoes. Another one hour paddle brings us to our camp, a beautiful beach surrounded by an old growth forest of giant cedar trees.

Day 3:
You paddle for three hours along the south shore of Azure Lake. The crystal clear water of Clearwater contrasts sharply with the sky-blue glacier fed waters of Azure Lake. The terrain changes also, with the easy shorelines of the Clearwater giving way to spectacular cliffs and snow capped peaks of Azure Lake. As we paddle, we pass small streams cascading over the cliffs into the lake, and the views are spectacular. Finally, you glimpse the crescent of white sand where the rainbow falls plunges into the Azure lake. This gorgeous spot will be your home for two nights.

Day 4:
A rest day at Rainbow Falls provides the opportunity of fishing and hiking in the area surrounding the falls.

Day 5:
A good days paddle along the north shore of Azure Lake and down the Clearwater River. This is a safe river run, which gives the now experienced canoeist a feel for moving water. You arrive on Clearwater Lake and camp on the west shore.

Day 6:
A four hour paddle back to the put-in-point and the vehicle. You get off the lake in the early afternoon. On the return drive you stop in and see the famous Helmcken and Dawson waterfalls along the way and also visit Green Mountain lookout to get a feel for the immensity of this wilderness park.
