Bowron Lake Provincial Park is a
provincial park located in northern
British Columbia, Canada, about 117 kilometres east of the city of
Quesnel. Other nearby towns include
Wells and the historic destination of
Barkerville. The park is known for its rugged
glaciated mountains, cold deep lakes, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife. The main attraction is the
canoe circuit through the
Cariboo Mountains, which follows lakes, rivers, and short
portages between waterways. This trip takes about a week to complete. An alternative to this trip is the shorter Westside route, which traverses Bowron, Swan, Spectacle, Skoi, Babcock, Unna and Rum lakes. This circuit takes two to four days.
