We kayak the lakes and rivers of the Interior and we also paddle on the ocean, in the mountains, or overseas when we can. We have 18+ foot kayaks with high capacity storage areas for kayak camping. They are bit cumbersome to store, transport, and launch, but get them into the water from March to November, paddling kayaks or with a SUP 60 – 90 days a year. Note – Most of the newer information is now on a sister site – Kamloopskayak.com

Most of our paddling is on the area’s lakes with over 100 destinations completed to date. We try to find new lakes and rivers each year and we are now working on hard-to-get-to lakes and destinations requiring some travel, but we return to our favorite lakes every year too. A Google Map has been created linked to articles on the website. It gets updated every winter.
