We continue on to visit Dawson Falls, also nick named "Little Niagara" and then drive to Clearwater Lake.

Today we explore Clearwater Lake, paddling with our canoes while enjoying some outdoor fishing and the local British Columbia wildlife. An approximately 1 hour adventure hike to Eagle’s View presents another chance to see wildlife and to enjoy a beautiful vista over Clearwater Lake. Second night at our outdoor camp ends our guided tour for the day.

After a relaxing breakfast we paddle back to the canoe launch and put away our canoes and paddle gear.
