View topic - Padddling conditions on coast for Feb.1st

I'm looking to do a longer paddle with a possible short overnighter on Feb.1-2.

I was wondering access in to Alouette Lk. right now?

The other option might be Chilliwack Lk. Is it frozen? How close can I drive?

Any takers for a paddle?

Thanks in advance, Canoeheadted.

Hi Ted

Not sure, but I think Alloutte is a hydro reservoir, with all the attendant bullshit associated with reservoirs (hugely varying water level, etc).

Good for you, paddling this time of year. I don't think my gear is up to a February paddle, or I'd be in.

Good luck!



edit:
You might find this usefull, its a photojournal of my trip to Chilliwack Lake, showing road conditions, etc. Chilliwack Lake is very nice, I highly reccommend it. There might be snow, but maybe not.
