Clearwater

Visit Wells Gray Provincial Park - The park encompasses 522,000 hectares, with five major lakes, two large river systems, numerous spectacular waterfalls and countless prominent topographical features. Wells Gray is known worldwide for its incredible mountain scenery and hiking trails. One of the most spectacular views is Helmcken Falls, which plunges 141 meters down a narrow canyon.

The many hiking trails, varying in skill level from very easy to extremely challenging, provide a healthy means for enjoying the abundant scenery and wildlife which populate the North Thompson Valley. Enjoy a short hike into one the many waterfalls in the area or plan for a longer hike into the more remote locations.

Fishing is a popular activity in Clearwater, with many remote lakes in the area to test angling skills. Licenced guides are available.

If you prefer to enjoy the scenery from the water there is an abundance of lakes for canoeing.

A whitewater rafting tour down the Clearwater River is a must try. Three companies offer rafting services, each offering similar prices and tours. Of the three, Riverside Adventures tends to garner more positive reviews for its service and impeccable safety record.
