A paddle up the lake to a marine campsite.

• final dates to be decided, but close to the dates published
• load canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards in Kamloops (make your own arrangements, please)
• drive north through Clearwater, then up the Clearwater Valley Road to the end of the road (127 km – two hours)
• load boats with gear at the boat launch, and park vehicles in the adjacent BC Parks designated lot; pay a $5 fee at the launch – meet at 10:00 (early to avoid windy conditions)
• paddling, safety, and camping equipment needed and dry bags are a good idea for stowing the gear
• paddle up the lake, staying close to the shoreline
• paddle for about 1.5 hours+ (6 km)
• land at Diver’s Bluff Marine Campground
• set up camp and have lunch
• hike up the Eagles View Trail and back (3.5 km)
• optional evening paddle, optional morning paddle, and optional exploration
• campfire social in the evening
• 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).   For example, Murtle Lake is planned for September.
• Please note that as a volunteer, I choose a date that works for me, a route I am interested in and know well, and an outing that I think will benefit members.    The date may change at my discretion if weather is “iffy”, but not on request.   If the event is full, watch for cancellations. (Info on successful bookings.)
