Pitt River: Lake, Gr 1-
2022-04-17 | Port Coquitlam
Paddle the Pitt River from Gillnetter Pub to Deboville Slough. Meet at Deboville Slough at 11:30 where we will arrange a shuttle to the put-in at the Gillnetter. The Pitt River is a tidal river and we will be paddling with the incoming tide along the Westside. The trip is for intermediate and above lake paddlers. Not recommended for new/novice paddlers. Lake canoes (fibreglass canoes) are fine, river canoes are not required. We will be paddling roughly 9 km. The launch site is down an old, narrow dock. Canoe wheels could be beneficial but they might also be an annoyance. https://www.tideschart.com/Canada/British-Columbia/Metro-Vancouver-Regional-District/Pitt-Meadows/
