Although British Columbia is not as popular for canoeing as Ontario, there are many routes that can please a paddler. The most famous is the Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit which completes a mountainous circuit in the Cariboo Mountains.

Rivers are often swift and cold requiring paddlers to be skilled and experienced at whitewater.
There is a strong contingent of whitewater kayakers in the province taking advantage of the mountainous topography and the associated rivers. BC also has a long coastline dotted with thousands of islands making an ideal environment for sea kayaking.

The Powell Forest Canoe Route is located on the Sunshine Coast near the town of Powell River.
