About this site
SourceThe Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit is the reason this park exists in most people's minds: a 116 km chain of lakes, rivers and portages on the west slopes of the Cariboo Mountains, taking six to 10 days for the full loop and less for the west side alone. It is a trip for paddlers with wilderness experience, not a first canoe outing.
The drive-in campground is a good deal simpler. It has 24 sites on gravel access, near the registration centre and a short walk from the lake, with fire pits, pit toilets and potable water. A boat launch, swimming, fishing, short walking trails and biking are all right there.
Barkerville is about 7 km away and the Wells Service Station roughly 11 km, so plan your fuel around Wells. Hospital Lakes sit about 5 km off.
