Bow Lake Snowshoe - Kamloops Trails

Bow Lake Snowshoe – Kamloops Trails

Doug Smith  February 10, 2022 at 8:20 am

There are a number of off-road-vehicle routes on the flank of Chuwhels Mountain that can be hiked or snowshoed.   Some navigation is required and there may or may not be any tracks to follow.   I parked off the side of the road to Lodgepole Lake and snowshoed up one of the trails to Bow Lake and back.  

For much of the route there was a snowshoe track to follow, though tracks also went off in other directions, but I used a mapping app to keep me on track. 

Bow Lake is another hidden lake in the forest.    I crossed the lake and could see that a loop route was possible, but for this day, I returned the way I came.

The return solo snowshoe adventure was 5.5 km taking about 1.75 hours.    I followed the wrong tracks twice but corrected both times so the route van be done in 1.5 hours.

Doug started exploring this area in 1976 and continues to follow tracks and routes wherever they lead, with the aid of map, compass, GPSr and camera. After many dead-ends, but also many discoveries, he chose to share this information.

The Kamloops Trails website has a massive number of interesting posts and would be of interest to anyone in Kamloops who enjoys the outdoors. Visit the Kamloops Trails website at: http://www.kamloopstrails.ca/
