- load canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards in Kamloops
- drive north through Clearwater, then up the Clearwater Valley Road to the end of the road
- load boats at the boat launch, and park vehicles in the adjacent BC Parks designated lot; pay a $5 fee at the launch
- paddling, safety, and camping equipment needed and dry bags are a good idea for stowing the gear

- break camp and paddle back to the boat launch
- scheduled for mid-week (less boats), after high water, and after mosquito season
- options to stay an extra night on the lake, but I will accompany anyone down the lake, as needed
- I have led many paddling adventures (inc. paddling Clearwater Lake many times) and will be there to ensure safe practices, in the unlikely event of a spill, for direct rescue, and to support/advise the group on gear, etc., as needed
- This event is now full, but cancellations may occur.
- If there is interest, other paddle and hike trips can be organized (more information link).
- Hikes are planned for the rest of the year, with some to be listed on the KHC site. The full list is updated regularly – link.

I’ve signed up for Doug and I.
would love to join if there are any cancelations..Mary
I am limiting the number of people because of the number of camping spots, but if you can share a tent with someone, we can add you.
thanks Doug. I will see if Joyce will share with me.
Apologies-but I will no longer be able to attend this event. ( We were able to secure the new Mt. Robson Hut with the ACC for the same dates via lottery and so decided to do that instead). Hopefully, will be able to join the hike/paddle next year if available.
