Rivers Week Update

The BCC’s Biggest Annual Event – June 20-June 30, 2025

Update as of June 18, 2025

Join dozens of other paddlers for the BCC’s biggest annual event. Most days, you’ll have a choice of where to paddle, from lakes to gentle rivers and from fun Grade I and IIs to challenging Grade III for those who choose to. Throughout the week, you’ll have opportunities to socialize, bike, hike and swim in the river. Apres paddling is often time for sharing snacks, drinks and stories.

• June 20-24 or 25 we will be at the Outpost Camp on the Similkameen River, about 4km east of Bromley Rock, map is here. We’ll paddle sections of the Similkameen and possibly Pasayten and Tulameen Rivers, depending on interest and levels. The Coldwater is a possibility as well.
• The primary contact will be David Westell trips@beavercanoeclub.org 778-791-1721
• Around June 25, the plan is to move—probably to the Cherryville Recreation Site—to paddle the
  Shuswap. The campsite is on the river and is easy to miss. Its coordinates are 50.276597, -118.606789
• Watch this space and communicate with David for updates. Bear in mind that cell reception can be spotty, so the best way of knowing of the daily plan is to be there.
• Make sure you have river gear: spare paddle, airbags, helmets, wet or dry suit, throw bag, bow & stern ropes and first aid equipment.
