Description
A paddle-hike-paddle adventure
- Load boats in Kamloops, then drive to Scotch Creek and park at the boat launch (map) for a 9:00 start
- Launch from the ramp/beach and paddle to Copper Island
- Paddle to Copper Island (2 km) and land on a gravel beach on the east side
- Secure the boats, then hike around the island (2 km) on a good trail
- Lunch on the beach
- Paddle back to Scotch Creek, staying in contact, since winds may arise
- This can be done with a kayak, canoe, or SUP, but safety gear is required
- I have done this a few times and have enjoyed the outing
- A date is chosen, but we will avoid windy days so it could be moved 1-2 days in either direction
- We can help with unloading boats, but participants have to transport them on their own or with someone’s help; we will provide safety and rescue support, as needed
- Interest has been shown so its now open for registration.
- 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.

Since there was interest in the event, I enabled bookings and added those who were interested. Interested members can register or cancel at any time up to the last hour. We will confirm the final date and time closer to the posted date, based on weather and conditions.
