OARS: Chilko Lake Multi-Sport in British Columbia

We start our B.C. adventure zooming off on one of the most spectacular plane rides on earth, experiencing this striking Canadian landscape of ice, freckled with towering serrated ridges and dramatic glacial lakes. Chilko Lake in British Columbia, Canada is translucent and azure-like, on a par with the waters of the South Pacific and beckons exploration, as does the Chilko River flowing out of its north end. Based out of the luxurious and decadent Canadian Lodge at Chilko Lake, we spend our days exploring the countryside and valleys that have made this region in B.C. famous. Situated at the border of Ts’yl-os Provincial Park, the north end of Chilko Lake, and the headwaters of the Chilko River system, we can indulge ourselves in a variety of easily accessible outdoor adventures.

Cast a line in a crystal clear river that never clouds, raft through the lava canyons of the Chilko River, mountain bike, hike or horseback in the Coast Range, kayak on a wilderness lake that stretches for miles without even so much as a road. The variety of scenery and activities on this trip unfolds in a panorama of changing vistas. Each day, we will return to the elegant comfort and charm of our private luxury residence to indulge in fine wine and great food.

Chilko Lake Multi-Sport in British Columbia: August 7-11, August 14-18, August 28-31; land cost $3,995, plus $600 flight from Vancouver to Anahim Lake.
