Barkley
Sound - The Broken Group - Pacific Rim National Park
The Broken Group in
Barkley Sound south of Ucluelet is within the Pacific Rim National Parks
boundaries and forms one of the three areas which make up the park (Long
Beach and the West Coast Trail being the others). You'll find dozens of
islands to explore with campsites and beautiful beaches, many of which
can be found in the more protected inner islands of the group. Thorugh
the park where you can get current information about local conditions
and the best launch points - check with the park before you leave. The
best access to the area is out of Port Alberni on the MV Lady Rose. The
ship will drop you, your kayak and gear off just outside the islands at
Sechart and pick you up at a pre-determined time in the future. Another
alternative launch site is Torquart Bay which can be reached from a logging
road ( knowledge of travel on BC logging roads is essential and a 4x4
is recommended) that branches off Highway 4 at Kennedy Lake. Launching
from either Bamfield or Ucluelet requires an extended exposed crossing
to the islands and is best left to the experts. In the inner islands you'll
find camping areas at Hand, Gibralter, Dodd, Willis and Turret Islands.
The outer group has camping on Clarke, Benson and Gilbert Islands. Camping
fees are levied and group sizes are restricted by the park. Bring your
own drinking water, a cooking stove and practice no trace camping. Charts
and tide tables are essential.

Note:
In many areas the islands waters, particulary in the outer islands, can
be extremely dangerous with rocky shoals, surging surf, strong currents
and heavy fog that can engulf you very quickly. Weather can change quickly.
Consult with local outfitters, retailers, park authorities and local tourism
offices for detailed information about you route and local conditions.
If you're not an expert paddler with cold water, surf, ocean navigation
and tidal skills - hire a guide.
Barkley Sound
- The Deer Group
The Deer group is
also located in Barkley Sound closer to Bamfield. This group of islands
is becoming popular with kayakers. Less developed and less crowded, if
you looking for more solitude this might be an option. Campsites are not
designated and are definitely at a premium due to the nature of the islands.
Much of the area is crown land but not all. You must seek permission to
camp on first nations land prior to setting out. The launch point for
the Deer's is just outside Bamfield at Port Desire. If your not well versed
in Ocean Kayaking this isn't a good choice for paddling.
Wildlife includes
martens, otters, grey whales, orcas and bald eagles. Bring your own drinking
water, a cooking stove and practice no trace camping. Charts and tide
tables are essential. There are no toilet facilities so plan ahead before
you go. Barkley

Clayoquot
Sound
North of the Pacific
Rim National Park above Tofino you'll find a spectacular area for paddling,
Clayoqout Sound. Made up of an array of islands, reaches and passages,
the area is spectacularly beautiful. You'll find several hiking and backpacking
trails as well as sandy beaches and rain forest. Wildlife abounds including
sea lions, porpoises and even grey whales. Some of the major islands in
the sound are Flores,
Vargas and Meares.
There are a number of Provincial Marine parks in Clayoquot where you'll
find primitive campsites. The provincial park on Vargas allows wilderness
camping (leave no trace) as does Flores. Gibson Marine also has camping.
If you have the equipment, supplies and skills for an extended paddle
one of the nicest (but increasingly more popular) destinations is Hot
Springs Cove in Maquinna Provincial Park. You'll find gear rentals, instructors
and schools in Tofino. You can launch directly from Tofino. Bring your
own drinking water, a cooking stove and practice no trace camping. Charts
and tide tables are essential. For more information see our features on
Tofino, Vancouver
Island and Pacific Rim National Park as
well as the BC Parks
website.
Note: In
many areas Clayoquot's waters can be extremely dangerous with rocky shoals,
surging surf, strong currents and heavy fog that can engulf you very quickly.
Many routes are exposed to the open pacific. Consult with local outfitters,
retailers, park authorities and local tourism offices for detailed information
about you route and local conditions. Charts and tide tables are essentail.
If you're not an expert paddler with cold water, surf, ocean navigation

Gulf Islands
- Gulf Islands National Park
The Gulf Islands are
one of North America's best areas for sea kayakers, with fascinating coves,
bays, beaches and reaches in a largely protected ocean setting. The parks
campsites are located on a number of islands, allowing you to use the
park as an overnight destination, a weekend get away or an extended vacation.
Kayakers should be thoroughly familiar with cold water conditions, tides
and navigation and be equipped properly before setting out. Weather can
turn suddenly in the area so check and monitor marine weather forecasts.
Boat traffic is significant in the islands during high season and large
ferries move through the area constantly. Some of the islands waters have
strong tidal currents (some running far faster than a kayaker can paddle)
and rough waters, consult with the park about you're planned route before
setting out.
Beaumont
Park - Bedwell Harbour off South Pender, Water Access Only.
The park has 11 walk-in campsites, drinking water, picnic areas, toilets,
an anchorage and a Canadian Customs office in the high season. Supplies
are available at nearby Bedwell Harbour Village.
Cabbage
Island - North east of Tumbo Island, Water Access Only. The
park has 8 walk-in campsites, a beach, a picnic area and toilets. There
are also a number of buoys for moorage off shore. Tumbo island is just
off of Saturna Island. The east side of Tumbo is exposed to the waters
of the broader straight.
D'Arcy Island
- East of the Saanich Peninsula and south of Sidney Island in Haro Straight,
Water Access Only. There
are several buoys for mooring and a small beach. The park has rustic
campsites for overnight stays.
Prevost
Island - Located off the end of Salt Spring's Long Harbour
northwest of Pender and southwest of Galiano Island.The island has separate
areas set aside as part of the National Park. The area with camping
and hiking trails is located at the north end of the island at Selby
Cove and James Bay.
Princess
Margaret (Portland Island) - South of Salt Spring Island not
far from the mouth of Fulford Harbour. The
Island has three campgrounds located around the islands perimeter. There
are hiking trails that cris cross the island and provide a terrestrial
connection to each. The island has a pump for water. Satellite Channel
which seperates the island from Salt Spring is the major ferry route
in the Gulf Islands.
Sidney Spit
- East of the Saanich Peninsula on the north end of Sidney
Island.The park is known for its exceptional sandy beaches. There are
35 buoys for moorage along the shores of the park and 24 walk-in campsites,
vault toilets and picnic areas.
Isle-de-lis
(Rum Island) - Between Stuart and Sidney Island,
Water Access Only. The
park has a few walk-in campsites as well as some walking trails.
There are also a
number of excellent Provincial Park campsites in the area which you
can also take advantage of.
Discovery
Island Marine Park - East of Victoria off of Oak Bay where Haro
meets Juan de Fuca Straight, Water Access Only. There are no designated
campsites but their is an area for camping. Vault toilets are available.
No moorage for boaters. While this is a popular kayaking destination
the open water crossing from the mainland can be treacherous - best
bet hire a guide.
Note:
If you're not an intermediate or expert paddler, you should hire a guide.
Many of the camping areas do not have water so ensure you bring along
an adequate supply. Some of the channels see constant ferry traffic.
These large boats move much faster than they appear to and often can't
see something as small as a kayak. Correct timing of channel crossings
is essential! Consult with local outfitters, retailers, park authorities
and local tourism offices for detailed information about you route and
local conditions.

Lake Superior
- Lake Superior Provincial Park
The parks coast presents
lots of opportunities for intermediate to expert kayakers but there aren't
a lot of sheltered coves or networks of islands to explore. Novices should
think about hiring a guide. The parks coastline is about 120km long and
would take about 5 to 7 days to paddle. Be aware that the weather can
change in an instant and fog can roll in at any time and may stay for
several days. While Lake Superior is a renown kayaking destination the
park's shoreline is largely exposed, with many sections bordered by sheer
cliffs, that will prevent landings in the event that the weather turns.
Superior is usually calmest in June and July. Access points are Agawa
Bay Campground, Sinclair Cove, Katherine Cove, Gargantua Harbour, Old
Woman Bay, Michipicoten River and Michipicoten Bay. Consult with local
outfitters, retailers, park authorities and local tourism offices for
detailed information about you route and local conditions.

Lake Superior Provincial Park
Lake Superior
- Pukaskwa National Park
The parks' coast is
accessible for intermediate to expert kayakers, novices should hire a
guide. For ambitious paddlers the traditional trip is from Hatttie Cove
at the north of the park to Michipicoten, a good distance south east of
the park. This is an extended paddle which will take from 10 to 14 days.
Be aware that the weather can change in an instant and fog can roll in
at any time and stay for days on end (budget one in four days where you'll
be tent bound due to conditions.) While Lake Superior is a renown kayaking
destination the park's shoreline is largely exposed, with areas that make
landings difficult or even impossible in the event that the weather turns.
They say that Superior is usually calmest in June and July. For those
with lesser skills the area around Hattie Cove makes for a nice day paddle
but don't venture too far from the sheltered bays. Remember Superior's
waters average a bone chilling 4° C. Consult with local outfitters,
retailers, park authorities and local tourism offices for detailed information
about you route and local conditions.
Out-There's
Pukaskwa National Park
Georgian Bay
(Lake Huron) - Georgian Bay Islands National Park
The park is a "boaters
park" and is a spectacular area for sea kayaking with endless channels,
bays and inlets to explore. You can sea kayak from island to island or
just kayak to the large island, Beausoleil and go exploring. You'll find
great camping on one of the 192 sites at any of the 15 campgrounds on
the big island. Be aware the parks waters have a lot of boat traffic and
even thought much of the area is protected, great storms can arise in
a surprisingly short time. Only very experience kayakers should venture
onto the unsheltered back of the island. Make sure your route doesn't
exceed your capabilities. If you're not an intermediate or advanced kayaker,
hire a guide to help you explore the park. Georgian Bay is a huge body
of water, usually very choppy, prone to fogs and very cold. Storms can
brew up in a minute so check the weather conditions if you go. Consult
with local outfitters, retailers, park authorities and local tourism offices
for detailed information about you route and local conditions.
Out-There's
Georgian Bay Islands National Park
Georgian Bay
(Lake Huron) - Bruce Peninsula National Park
The park is exceptional
for sea kayakers (see the outfitters section if you need a rental or guide).
The waters off the park have endless possibilities for paddlers. For some
lazy paddling, the west side of the park has a lot of beaches and some
easy off-shore areas. To the north and to the east, the park is bounded
by the Escarpment and the paddling is exceptional but should be left to
expert or guided paddlers. There are a number of sunken wrecks, which
may be observed from the waters surface (don't enter these areas when
divers are active) near Tobermory. Advanced paddlers can head out to Flower
Pot Islands off the coast. The area's waters alternate in color from a
deep emerald green to various shades of aquamarine. The eroding limestone
cliffs, large caves and rocky white beaches make for great exploration.
If you're looking for an overnight trip, you can start from Tobermory
and work your way down to the wilderness campsites in the park (reserve
in advance) . There
is also a camping area on Flowerpot Island in Fathom Five National Marine
Park located just off Tobermory. The campsites are available on a first
come basis and there are only six sites. Advanced kayakers can paddle
to the sites after picking up permits. Bad weather may pin you down for
days, so be sure to bring extra supplies. For information on Fathom Five
see Parks Canada's Website. Check
with the park for accessibility and availability. Consult with local outfitters,
retailers, park authorities and local tourism offices for detailed information
about you route and local conditions.
Note:
The weather in the area is extremely variable and difficult to predict,
particularly in the early or late part of the season (even for the meteorologists).
The peninsula is surrounded by an inland sea and the waters can become
dangerous in the blink of an eye. Along the cliffs, landings may be impossible
and reflected waves may be a real concern. Water temperatures are very
low at any time of year and hypothermia is an ever present danger.

Bruce Peninsula National Park
Georgian Bay
(Lake Huron) - Killarney Provincial Park
There are never ending
possibilities for kayaking in this area. One standout is the archipelago
east of the park, between it's shores and Manitoulin Island. The area
is made up of endless inlets and islands and has great potential as a
prime destination but is difficult to access. The second area is south
of the park, in and around Phillip Edward Island and out to the Fox Islands.
There are thousands of small islands in the vicinity and the area is a
standout when it comes to beauty. Sea kayaking in the park is relatively
undeveloped. Consult with local outfitters, retailers, park authorities
and local tourism offices for detailed information about you route and
local conditions.
Note: Georgian Bay/Lake Huron is essentially an inland
sea where the weather can turn in very short order. Ocean kayaking skills
are essential, navigation skills, charts, compass and a weather radio
are essential. if you aren't a seasoned kayaker, please contact an outfitter
or guide in the area. Remember these lakes are scattered with the remains
of large ships and freighters.
Note:
The
park has a can and bottle ban in the interior which is enforced all year
long.

St. Lawrence
River - Bic Provincial Park (Rimouski)
Bic is one of the
best places we know of for sea kayaking in Quebec (Forillion and of course
the Saguenay are other outstanding areas). The bays, inlets, islands and
of course the wildlife are good reasons why you should paddle here. If
you are new to ocean kayaking, Bic is a good introduction to the challenges
brought to you by the tides and ocean waters. Guides are highly recommended.
Consult with local outfitters, retailers, park authorities and local tourism
offices for detailed information about you route and local conditions.

Bic Provincial Park
St. Lawrence
River - Iles de Boucherville (Montreal)
While the park is
well know for it's cycling, paddlers have a leisurely 28km circuit, which
wraps around the outer edges of Ile Saint-Jean, Ile-a-Pinard and Ile-de-la-Commune.
This is a great paddle for nature lovers, where you can scour the marshes
and river banks for wildlife. The route is protected from the broader
St Lawrence and it's stronger currents (although you are in narrow channels
of the river on the north and south sides of the circuit). You can rent
canoes and kayaks (good ones too) in the park or you can bring your own.
If you bring your own boat, be aware that their is no direct access to
a launching point, so you'll have to portage, carry or drag your floating
friend a short distance to a put-in. Inquire with the park regarding the
conditions and your proposed route.

St. Lawrence
River - Thousand Islands, St. Lawrence Islands National Park, Ivy Lee
This is a wonderful
area for sea kayakers to explore. Depending on you launch site and your
objective, this can be a paddle in the park or something akin to an expedition.
The islands stretch from Brockville in the east to Kingston in the west
(and for avid paddlers you don't have to stop there). The St. Lawrence
Islands National Park has dozens of campsites available for paddlers (and
sailors). From Kingston to Brockville (west to east) these include the
following:

The parks of the St.
Lawrence is responsible for Ivy Lea campground which is also accessible
to kayakers. The Municipality of Brockville provides a number of campsites
on islands just off of St. Lawrence Park. The park recently acquired a
significant amount of new property including the Landon
Bay Centre (which has front country camping) and an extensive trail
system. Contact the park regarding these facilities. Some launch points
for the area include Kingston, Gananoque, Mallory Town and Brockville
(St. Lawrence Park). The best source of detailed information on sea kayaking
in the area is available on the Thousand
Islands Water Trail website. For more information on camping, routes
and conditions contact the park through the Parks
Canada website. Parks of the St.

Note:
This is one of Canada's (and the United States) most popular boating and
recreation destinations and it also encompasses a major shipping channel.
This makes paddling even more of a thinking mans sport. The Thousand Islands
have changeable weather and may have difficult or impossible winds, sudden
fogs, along with swift currents, narrow channels. Consult with local outfitters,
retailers, park authorities and local tourism offices for detailed information
about you route and local conditions. If you don't have the skills hire
a guide.
Bay of Fundy
- Fundy National Park
There is sea kayaking off
the park in the Bay of Fundy with the best launch point being Alma. The
park has a variety of coastline with cliffs, coves, beaches, sea stacks
and even sea caves. The tide can rise and fall over 10m, quickly changing
the shoreline as you go. There are a number of streams and rivers which
you can explore on route. Unless you well seasoned in sea kayaking it
is highly recommended you hire a guide or touring company. Be aware there
are many dangers inherent in kayaking the bay. With tides and currents
like few other places on earth, fast moving fog banks, along with waters
that hover just above freezing all year round. Weather can turn quickly
and landings may be impossible along some stretches of shoreline. Consult
with local outfitters, retailers, park authorities and local tourism offices
for detailed information about you route and local conditions.

Northumberland
Strait (Atlantic Coast NB) - Kouchibouguac National Park
Without a doubt this
has got to be one of the best places to introduce new comers to the sport
of sea kayaking on the Atlantic Coast. Most of the parks shore line is
made up of lagoons protected by sand dunes. There are salt marshes, river
mouths, beaches and islands. The tides, the sea birds and the grey and
harbour seals all add to the adventure making the area a great introduction
to salt water paddling. If you want to spend the night out, there is a
wilderness campsite with 4 placements at Pointe-a-Maxime on the Saint
Louis Lagoon. Rentals are available at Ryans near South Kouchibouguac
campground. Unless you are an experience sea kayaker do not venture around
the dunes, stay in the protected waters off shore. Consult with local
outfitters, retailers, park authorities and local tourism offices for
detailed information about you route and local conditions. |
