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.

Every year I have a few days where I combine paddling and hiking, so I have created a new event category and have added a proposed event for 2026.
