First time backcountry canoe camping in 20 yrs for me, great place to try it again. Some tips will prepare you for this challenging trip. 1) Pack light. You have to carry everything, either in your canoe and on your back. Leave the fresh steaks at home. Eat trail mix or dehydrated whatever for 5 days. You'll live. 2) Warm and Dry. It rained on us daily. Sometimes heavily. Leave heavy cotton clothes at home. Think lightweight Merino wool or technical. Sandals etc for in the boat, light boots and wool socks for camp (even in June). 3) Dry-bag everything. Test your packing by spraying your packs with a garden hose for 5 minutes. If your spare clothes are still dry, you're doing it right. 4) Shake-down. Hold your backpack upside down and shake for 30 seconds. Nothing should come out. Actually practise loading your canoe beforehand. Proper Preparation Prevents Peril. 5) Leave young kids at home. Sorry to those who disagree but I think the majestic beauty of the circuit is lost on young kids who wail when they're cold, damp, hungry or tired. 6) Know your limits. I canoed the small Class I rapids on the circuit without moving water experience, but I read a guidebook, surveyed the terrain, had a good canoe partner I could communicate with, and have 25 years of flatwater experience. If you have any doubts, portage around the rapids. We did see two wrecked boats - this happens if you're foolhardy. 7) Bugs! The mosquitoes are thick and ferocious. I used a Shemagh (middle-eastern head wrap) and it was more effective than bugspray, whose odour can attract bears anyways. Best 5 bucks I spent on gear. 8) Cooking: Bring enough stove and fuel supplies, with spares. Firewood is of poor quality and not reliably stocked. Bring a full size axe, the wood is supplied as bucked rounds 12-18" in diameter - a hatchet won't be of much help.

This was my first time back since the ownership changed and we had a great time. As usual, beautiful scenery and the wranglers were amazing. The riding really pushes you to your limits and it is amazing to be able to go on these unguided trips. It's truly unique and I've been to other ranches, but always come back! My first horse was a bit testy for my horseback riding level and they were very helpful with tips and set me up with a lovely new horse. Not that I didn't like my first horse, but he was a bit too much horse for me! The food was very good and the accomodations had some nice updates like new mattresses and the cabins were better insulated - the wood stove keeps you nice and warm. The trails were much better marked than on previous visits. Also, nice to have the boat and kayaks by the lake. I'd like to especially thank Dave, the superwrangler, he was just awesome!!

Green Lake in the Caribou, BC area is a beautiful lake with beautiful green coloured water. It is a great place for camping with a few designated campgrounds as well as a place to go swimming for the day (this is one of the few lakes with a nice sandy beach). If you are going for a swim, then you might visit the Little Arrowhead campground on the lake. This is a nice place to go with small children. Recommended you bring an umbrella as there is not much shade. Also bring your floating chairs. There are a couple of picnic tables. If you are planning to go camping, then you need to book a place (several months) in advance as the campgrounds can fill up.

This park is a wonderful place to visit, in the Summer there is so much to do for adults and children, also there are a few events like the ducky race. If you love to take pictures this is a great place for you, wildlife, flowers, and a beautiful waterfall. In the winter bring the kids and sleighs, the gate is closed but you can still walk in. And photographers, if you love the waterfall in the Summer wait till you see it in the Winter. Wow

We visited here on a vacation day when staying in Quesnel, but wanted something interesting nearby to do. This is free and a great path for children to burn off energy. There are stunning views and it is an easy hike for everyone. We were able to push the stroller for the whole hike.
