Bowron Lake Area

Bowron Lake Provincial Park

Bowron Lake Provincial Park, 32 km east of Wells, provides one of the world’s best canoeing opportunities and some of British Columbia's finest wildlife viewing. Here, you can see bald eagles, osprey, moose, mink, beaver, bears, and a wide variety of birdlife from your canoe.

The full “Bowron Chain of Lakes” circuit is 116 kilometers of lakes, rivers, and short portages.  Typically the full chain takes about a week; shorter trips of the “west side” or of just Bowron Lake are options for those on tighter schedules. Reservations with BC Parks are necessary for most overnight canoe trips, although limited drop-ins are available.

Although many people come for the canoeing, there is also a variety of trails that provide summer hiking opportunities into spectacular alpine meadows with fabulous views. Winter touring is more challenging, but equally rewarding. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, you can stay overnight at one of the lodges or campgrounds or just relax by the lake for the day.  

Visitors can bring their own gear when they visit Bowron Lakes, or they can stop at their choice of
three businesses that can provide them with all the gear to head out on the chain. You will even be
able to find supplies for camping, fishing, and souvenirs.
