Paddling from Adams Lake Provincial Park
Bush Creek Campground is part of Adams Lake Provincial Park. There is a good boat launch and a wide gravel beach. Paddlers can paddle along the shoreline north or south or cross the lake and explore the shoreline. Adams Lake is a large lake which can provide many days of paddling.
On the last day of September I paddled north along the shoreline and back, but there were some fine beaches to explore along the way.
The western shoreline has an interesting shoreline to explore. Agate Bay was visible 10 km north. The water was crystal clear and the lake was quiet.
A few cliffs extend down into the lake. The sun was shining over the ridge as I paddled back to the park.
The park can be a busy spot in the summer, but in the fall it was a fine destination for a day’s paddle.
Nice photos! Looking ahead to 2023, could you help us with two questions? (1) Is there any place to leave a car for a week while canoeing-camping around Adams Lake? Overnight parking is not permitted at the Bush Creek Site, according to the BC Parks website (Know Before You Go, Special Notes). (2) Would mid-May/June, the high-water months, be an OK time to circumnavigate Adams Lake? Would the marine campsites be accessible, or might they be under water? Thank you for any information or advice.
I will send you an email to try to answer your questions. Cheers,
