I think it was John Grace who once said "It's all just training for British Columbia". He was referring to the super challenging creeking and multi day wilderness whitewater trips that are located all over this mountainous province. There is a lifetime worth of easy and intermediate paddling too. Whether it is multi day ocean trips, winter whitewater paddling on Vancouver Island, surfing tidal rapids, creeking in the interior, remote trips up north BC offers it all and then some.

Canoe Trips or Routes

Sooke

Public Park to Trailer Park
Sooke River - The Sooke is a good first river for teaching a small group of beginners, enough of a challenge but not overwhelming. The fairly short run and proximity to Victoria makes the whole trip very manageable for beginners, and can be completed a Winter afternoon. The river is runnable between November and March after a rain event, and is usually good if other rivers up island are running high. The level cannot be judged from the bridge on Hwy 14, as that area is tidal water. Suitable for tandem canoes at medium and above levels, otherwise you’ll be bouncing off the rocks.
