Thompson River Canoe Trip--in Voyageur Canoes (11 Sep 2026)

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

The Big Canoe Rendezvous typically occurs on the Thompson River each year on the second weekend of September. It is held on the Thompson River near Savona on high volume class 2 whitewater. It has traditionally been co-hosted by the Victoria Canoe and Kayak Club (VCKC) and the Thompson Rivers Interior Paddling Society (TRIPS Canoe Club). https://www.bccanoe.com/events/rcabc-big-canoe-rendezvous.

Ceyana Canoe Club is organizing a crew to attend this Thompson River canoe trip in BC this September.

Proposed Itinerary

Friday, September 11
Travel from Edmonton to Juniper Beach Provincial Park, just east of Cache Creek, and set up camp

Saturday, September 12
Paddle the Thompson River from Savona to Ashcroft, with lunch at Juniper Beach.

Sunday, September 13
Paddle from Savona to Juniper Beach, load the canoes around noon, and travel back to Edmonton.

The Thompson is a large-volume river with Class 2 rapids, so paddlers should have some big-canoe and/or moving-water experience.

Estimated Cost & Transportation

The estimated cost is approximately $150 per paddler. This should likely cover the cost of towing the canoes and shared transportation, with team members carpooling together in the truck and a secondary vehicle.

Participants will also be responsible for their own camping and food costs.

Tow vehicle: If you have a suitable vehicle and are willing to help tow the canoes, please let us know when you register.

Payment will be required by August 21.

RCABC membership will be required for insurance purposes, Wade and Liz Martinson will go over the process with registrants.
