To prevent overcrowding and protect the visitor's experience, the number of daily departures onto the canoe circuit is limited to 27 canoes or 55 persons. Visitors without reservations may have to wait up to three days for a departure time during busy periods.
Individual parties can travel the circuit at their own pace and select their campsites as they go.
Their stay is limited to 14 nights on the Circuit. Groups must have a designated leader who is responsible for registration of the group and the conduct and actions of all persons in their group. Groups are required to camp at predetermined Group Campsites. Their stay is limited to seven nights on the Circuit and three nights on the West Side. All visitors, whether they have a reservation or not, must register at the Bowron Lake Registration Centre before departure.
