I'm setting up this forum topic for people who are interested in this outing - singles with or without boats can call for partners, etc. Post if you are thinking about it. Check back to see who else is.
We will meet at 9:00 AM at the parking lot nearest the Deep Cove Canoe & Kayak rental building. Directions follow:
- Freeway to North Vancouver.
- Exit to the East on either of Mount Seymour Parkway or Dollarton Highway and drive across North Van.
- From Mount Seymour Parkway turn left on Deep Cove Road at the bottom of a short, steep downhill.
- Dollarton Hwy goes East then curves North and dumps straight onto Deep Cove Road, keep on straight ahead.
- Follow Deep Cove Road to the end, bearing right at the village of Deep Cove.
- At the very end of Deep Cove Road turn right on Banbury Road (which is pretty much your only option anyway).
- Continue on 1 block, left at Naughton Ave, immediate right into the parking lot.
Quote:North of Deep Cove and Belcarra Park is an 18 km long fjord waiting to be explored. There are different options, depending on the group; paddle from Deep Cove to Jug Island and Bedwell Bay or to Twin Islands for a picnic. This is a good trip for people who have just completed Basic Paddlers. Canoes can be rented at Deep Cove.
