Hi All, I am seriously contemplating the possibility of doing some kayaking in the interior of the Province, Day triips or multi-day trips, but so far have not found any sources of information or any tour people other than for the coastal areas. The paddling in the Inside Passage area is great, and I have enjoyed it very much, but thought the interior might have some good possibilities also; large mountain lakes or easy flowing streams. I should add that with my bum leg I am no longer able to do much walking, let alone portaging. And I am already acquainted twith the Bowron Lakes area and know it to be beyond my capability. I'd appreciate any info or suggestions about areas to consider, possible multi-day kayak-camping trips, or tour operators.

Dave, there are several members of the West Coast Paddlers who live and paddle in the interior of BC. Some of the lakes are huge but I'm not sure of the access or facilities myself. But it's likely you'll get more responses to your query in their "community" forums. > I should add that with my bum leg I am no longer able to do much walking, > let alone portaging.

But you might be surprised at your capability when it comes to the Bowrons. If you paddle in the "traditional" direction then, yes, you probably cannot do it without help. Long portages right from the get-go. But if you go opposite the flow (counterclockwise as opposed to clockwise) you'll find the portages short and pretty easy (especially if you have wheels and paddle with a partner). This would probably mean paddling halfway (to the cabins on the river) and then turning around and paddling back. But it's still a worthwhile trip.
