Cabins and huts

Bowron Lake Park is a large wilderness area on the western slopes of the Cariboo Mountain Range. The world-renowned Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit is a 116 km chain of waterways and connecting land. The full circuit takes between six and 10 days to complete. For a shorter trip, the West Side of the circuit can be paddled in two-to-four days. It is recommended that only people with some wilderness canoeing experience attempt the circuit.

Bowron Lake Park also has a very pleasant 25-unit drive-in campground. The campground is located near the registration centre, a short distance from Bowron Lake itself. There are also a few short walking trails nearby.

The park has a tremendous diversity of topography and vegetation. The rounded hilltops of the Quesnel Highlands on the West Side of the circuit have a unique character quite different from the imposing Cariboo Mountains on the eastern and southern sections of the circuit. The park is a place of many moods, from bright sunshine and placid blue lakes to angry gray waters and torrential rains.

Increased park visitation has placed a great deal of pressure on the park’s resources. If we are to preserve the wilderness experience, it is up to each visitor to treat this special area with the respect it deserves. Lodging type(s) on file: Cabins and huts.
