Description
A paddle out into flooded Tranquille Bay, across the river, and through flood channels and back
- if conditions are right, we can paddle up to 10km, but if its windy, we will stay on the north side of the river
- article – Tranquille Bay
- article – Kayak the Floodlands
- the river will be at full flow so anyone in a small kayak will need to be a stronger paddler (not for novices)
- the floodland channels are mostly flatwater knowledge of self-rescue is required; all safety equipment is required by Nav Canada and KHC too
- I will be in this area twice a week all month so contact me if you have a day available
- meet at the launch area at the Tranquille Wildlife Management area
- watch this listing for comments over the last 48 hours for updates
- I was paddling in the floodlands on May 28 and took a few shots from the kayak:

Retired now, I get into the outdoors most days to hike, paddle, camp, snowshoe, run, walk, or explore. More information can be found at: KamloopsTrails.net.
