Canoes - We offer good basic canoes suitable for both novice and experienced paddlers.The Clipper Yukon CanoeThe 16'8" Clipper Yukon is specifically designed for week long paddling trips. Stable, maneuverable, and strong; the Yukon has low bucket seats which keep you seated at the center of gravity and an adjustable foot brace for the added comfort of the stern paddler. It is a good wilderness tripping canoe for two persons and all your gear, or a family canoe for two adults and children on a one day outing. Key Benefits of the Clipper Yukon
Two of our Yukon canoes have been equipped with formed wooden yokes for those hardy folk who want to carry their boats over the portages in the old traditional way. The Clipper 186 MacKenzie CanoeFor unbelievable performance in a large capacity touring canoe, try the 18'6" MacKenzie.

Expedition 16 Canoe CartsWe offer the best canoe carts on the market. The park approved, Expedition 16 Canoe Cart, features 4" wide pneumatic tires with a 16"radius and orange flotation pads that protect the canoe and keep the wheels afloat if dropped in the lake. These are very sturdy carts which minimize wear and tear on the trails. They are made for the rough and rocky terrain that can be found on the portages of Bowron Lake Provincial Park. The canoe is held in place by 12 feet of heavy duty 2" nylon webbing. The over all weight of the cart is 23 lbs. and the carrying capacity is 350 lbs.
