Trips

A beautiful day out across the Pitt River, up Widgeon tidal Marsh, lunch at a picnic site, and maybe a hike to the falls. Contact: Leigh B cat8canoe@gmail.com

The penultimate BC experience: A tidal freshwater lake. A River. A slough in a marsh. A mountain trail. A waterfall in a canyon. Contact: Mike D mike2166@hotmail.com

A long, cold, bumpy river section that never stops tumbling, start to finish! This trip requires full outfitting and solid whitewater skills. Contact: Anne & Alain P   alain.p.prince@gmail.com    

On this leisurely family-freindly trip, there are as many possibilities as the river has tributaries. Maybe a meander through the farmlands of Pitt Meadows, under the backdrop of Golden Ears peaks. Or maybe a lazy float through the forests of Maple Ridge. Contact: Katie S ksather@shaw.ca    

A weekend of fun in Duncan, on Vancouver Island, paddling the Cowichan, Chemainus and nearby rivers, with apres-paddle get-togethers to celebrate the day's victories. Contact: Owen W owen.williams911@gmail.com 

Dave S & Dave W think the water will be deep enough for this family paddle through Burnaby's central valley, so we cobbled this trip together at the last minute.  See the backwaters behind Burnaby's industrial underbelly, where the herons and beavers hide.   Contact: Trips@beavercanoeclub.org

We'll paddle from a pocket beach on Ioco Rd to Belcarra Park and points north.  A fun family paddle for an Easter Sunday. Contact: Dave W westell@shaw.ca

This is a challenging run in North Vancouver that requires solid whitewater skills and full outfitting.  The levels have to be just right too.  If they aren't, Phil will reschedule for a better time in the near future. Contact: Phil B "Phil Bates"ptbates@telus.net  

A family friendly paddle along a lazy river reveals the seldom seen sides of Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond.  Wildlife, working boats, vestiges of old industries, and vistas of strolling weekenders. Contact: Jim  S  jslade604@gmail.com
