ITINERARY

  • Day 1
    • Paddle Time: 3.5-5 hours

    Today you will begin at Wells Gray Adventures’ Office (Address Above) at 9 A.M. PST. Here you will be introduced to your guide, sign a waiver and be debriefed further on your canoe trip. Then it’s a 1 hour drive to the canoe dock on Clearwater Lake. We then paddle approximately 2.5 to 4 hours to our beach campsite. All campsites have outhouses, tables, fire-pits, and tent sites. We will set up camp and spend some time swimming, fishing or exploring before a great supper. After supper you may want an evening paddle to watch the stars or maybe a glass of wine around the campfire before retiring to your comfortable tent for the night.

  • Day 2

    Paddle Time: 3.5-6 hours

    Today we have a leisurely start. After breakfast and a swim, we can start to take camp down. We load up the canoes and paddle down the other side of the lake to the canoe dock. We then start back down the Wells Gray Road for a tour of the famous waterfalls. We will visit Helmcken Falls (the fourth highest in Canada) and walk into Dawson Falls. You will be awed by your Wells Gray wild waters experience.
