Canoe or Kayak down Kinbasket Lake?

Google isn't being incredibly helpful… I'd really like to take a canoe trip from Valemount to Revelstoke on Kinbasket Lake. I've never been on it before though, so some advice if anybody has, would be greatly appreciated.

I'm an avid camper, solo camper, and minimalist camper so I'm not really after outdoor survival tips. Curious which shoreline would be best to follow, any interesting spots to stop and day trip around, what the currents (if any) are like, exceptional camping spots along the lake, and good fishing lures to bring… or any other random advice.

This will be the longest solo canoe trip I've ever done (3 days prior to this; though I have done a 4 week one with a few people in Wabakimi.

Kinbasket Lake

No help what so ever but that trip looks wicked fun.

I'll take lots of pictures to bore friends, family, and NSMB with.

You will have to hike across the Mica Dam into Revelstoke Lake if you want to get to Revelstoke. Not sure how close you can get to the dam, but it will be a huge hill to haul your gear down.

atleast you wont be driving slow in front of anyone

damn thats an awesome sounding trip though!

Adam, I'll bet you 5 bucks I can get from Valemount to Hope faster than you, without speeding.

…and it will be an awesome trip! I'm estimating 2 weeks, and still tossed up between crossing to Revelstoke or heading down to Beaver…

uhm. if were both going the same speed how can you possibly beat me?

pardon the garden path sentence. You can speed all you want, and when you get pulled over and I don't, I'll win…. and I have a 4 L bladder.

Back on topic… will the water be best in spring/fall or summer next year? Anybody that grew up in the Robson valley on here?

I dont mind when red plates do the speed limit. it bugs me when its 20 k under and i just got off work.

its a single lane road pull the fuck over you cunts.

Back on topic…

"Alberta Drivers" has been done to death… c'mon

so did you make the trip? how was it? how long?

and that's when I realized that this thread was two years old.

Negative, like every person I hated when I was younger, I concentrated on my career and didn't wind up with the time. Now I can afford to go abroad, so Costa Rica in December with Sri Lanka close on it's heels in April for the Sinhalese new years celebrations.

haaa and I was going to offer to shuttle you in to town from revelstoke dam. that's about the only part of the trip i'd know anything about. sounds wicked though. i'd guess canoe would be fine/no pressure
