Named after a gold rush pioneer and located in the Cariboo Mountains of central B.C.’s Rockies, the Bowron is known around the world for its paddling.
Take six to 10 days to paddle the 116-kilometer loop through everything from swifts to large lakewater. Less intrepid adventurers can stay at one of the local resorts or the in-park car camping facility and day-use area. Reserve a spot—only 50 people are allowed on the circuit daily, ensuring a quiet getaway.
