ADVENTURES ON WATER.
LAKE REVELSTOKE HOLDS 130 KMS (81 MI) OF WILD, SECLUDED AND COOL GLACIER-FED WATERS. Magnificent rivers also flow through Revelstoke: the Illecillewaet, Jordan, and Columbia, just to get started.
Big, flat and glassy. Lake Revelstoke is prime for an easy kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or canoe tour. It’s perfectly cool on a warm summers’ day! Tours meander into coves and adjoining river systems that make up the major dividing waters of the Monashee and Selkirk Mountains. Go to Martha Creek Provincial Park for lunch along the pebbly beach or to lay on the grass. Explore the Columbia River on a comfortable raft guided tour while learning about this famous river. For the warmest water, hit up Williamson Lake back in town, with a sandy beach, playground, and mini putt.
If you’re comfortable navigating without a guide, rent a canoe or kayak for yourself. Lake Revelstoke, the Columbia River, or Upper Arrow Lake are all dotted with hidden waterfalls and inlets around every bend. Be aware of shimmying into colder waters, fluctuating water levels due to the dams, and watch for anglers and power boaters.
If you’re a whitewater kayaker, Revelstoke is full of frothy runs. There’s everything from the class II section of the Lower Jordan to the roaring class IV-V sections of the Illecillewaet’s Box Canyon. You can also check out the Upper Jordan and the Pingston River. For the very bold, Blanket Creek’s iconic 60-foot Sutherland Falls offers all the airtime you could want.
