Spencer and Connie's Honeymoon - Bowron Lake, B.C.

Bowron Lake is essentially an undeveloped wilderness.  Users of its waterways can expect to experience hazards and hardships of pioneer travel.  Only Experienced canoeists, in good physical condition, with good equipment, and willing to devote at least one week to the task, should attempt the complete circuit.  The Portage trail between Bowron and IndianPoint Lakes is five miles long and extremely muddy.  Between Isaac and Mcleary Lakes is 1.5 miles of difficult trail.  There are stretches of fast and difficult water on Isaac and Cariboo Rivers.  However, an easy and relatively safe trip can be made up Bowron Lake and River to the head of Spectacle Lake.
