Wells Gray Golf Resort and RV Park

Outdoorsy types should find plenty to keep them active around the Wells Gray Provincial Park – there are heaps of hikes to be had around the park’s 1.3 million acres of alpine wilderness, mature forests and lakes. Helmcken Falls, 12 kilometres away, is just one of the 39 waterfalls around the park; more intrepid visitors may like to plot an assault on Trophy Mountain, 45 minutes away by car. A huge network of trails awaits for mountain bikers too, or you can saddle up western-style for trail rides from the horse riding centre five minutes’ drive away – there are options for kids, beginners and more expert horse-handlers here. For aquatic adventures, head to Clearwater, 40 minutes away, for energetic kayaking and rafting trips on the Clearwater River. If you’d like your outings more leisurely, the same drive north will take you to Clearwater Lake for wild swims, fishing, kayaking and wildlife-spotting boat trips.
