The Shuswap offers paddlers
exceptional opportunities
to experience our lakes and
rivers, with glorious serenity
or an adrenaline rush!
The Shuswap River also offers a variety of
areas for paddle sports from kayaks and
canoes to rafts, paddleboards and tubes.
Thrill-seekers can find class 3+ whitewater
rapids through the famous Skookumchuck
canyon. For a relaxing, scenic float, take
a raft through the middle section of the
Lower Shuswap River. Be sure to know
your put-ins and take-out spots and water
levels for a safe trip.
While you’re roaming the water, why
not step onto shore and indulge in a
hike as well? For those soles itching to
explore, the region’s provincial parks
offer numerous opportunities for hiking.
Skip on over to Herald Provincial Park
to hug old growth cedars and be awed
by beautiful Margaret Falls. Follow the
shoreline of the Adams River in Roderick
Haig-Brown Provincial Park and witness
the frenzied spectacle of the Adams River
Sockeye Salmon Run. And once you’ve
tested the waters at Shuswap Lake
Provincial Park, take yourself for a jaunt
along its self-guided nature trails.

During September
and October, the quiet
banks of the Adams
River, 405 km inland
from the Pacific Ocean,
becomes the scene of
a natural miracle as
the Sockeye Salmon
journey upstream.
In the colourful days of fall, the
quiet waters of the 12 km river
turn turbulent and crimson as
over two million Sockeye Salmon -
returning from a life’s journey that
takes them far out into the Pacific
- pour into their home waters to
spawn and die. Sockeye Salmon
return to the Adams River every
year but the migration that occurs
every fourth year have reached
as high as 3.6 million fish. This
natural pageant draws hundreds
of thousands of visitors to the
Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial
Park. Come and join us.
