Wells Gray for Canoes and Kayaks,
Rafters and Boaters
No matter what kind of Water
experience you want, Wells Gray
has several options for you.
    Canoeists and Sea Kayakers

Murtle Lake is  North America's largest paddle-only lake, with miles
and miles of yellow sand beaches, Rainbow Trout and Kokanee
fishing, wildlife, mountain hikes, and more. No powerboats allowed,
no pets allowed.
We now offer canoe rentals there.  For into go to
    www.murtlecanoes.com

    Not enough for you?  Then  there's Clearwater and Azure
    Lake.  Over 50 km of paddling , with beaches, waterfalls, rivers,
    hikes, wildlife, and  limited use by powerboats, no Jet Skis.  

    Want more? Mahood Lake offers rustic lightly maintained lake
    shore sites at its east end that rarely see use: far away from
    the beaten path. We will be offering canoes for rent at Mahood
    this year- call 250-674-2194  for details.

    Whitewater Rafters and Kayakers

    KAYAKERS - LOCAL KNOWLEDGE IS
    CRITICAL HERE - GET SOME ADVICE
    BEFORE YOUR FIRST TRIP!

    The lower Clearwater River is a mecca for Whitewater fans.
    Three rafting companies Liquid Lifestyles,  Riverside
    Adventures and  Interior Whitewater Expeditions offer Guided
    trips,  half day to multi day, through world class whitewater and
    mind blowing scenery. A must do experience on any Wells
    Gray Wilderness trip. Preteens to Grandparents, everyone is
    welcome.

    Whitewater kayakers need to know their limits, as the
    Clearwater River has chewed on more than a few boats and
    people. Make friends at the local raft companies to find out
    what the conditions are like, and what you need to know.  
    Kayaking lessons are available locally as well, if you want to
    give this high adrenaline sport a try.

    Boaters
    Boaters have access to Clearwater, Azure and Mahood Lakes.  
    All  three are suitable for overnight camping trips, but not really
    for water sports. Personal watercraft (Jetskis or Seadoos) are
    banned outright, and water skiers have found conditions too
    cold and driftwoody  for much fun.

    This does leave lots of room for great fishing and some
    wonderful overnight camping opportunities. Make sure you
    have your camping fees and licences in order as all lakes are
    patrolled daily by parks staff.  Check lake specific pages for
    more info.
