Here are some photos from our paddle into the cabin on Nilkitkwa Lake. The wintery surroundings suggest the temperatures are colder than they are, we were fortunate and it was only -1 Celcius on the paddle in. The water was super clear and we could see lots of salmon skeletons at the bottom of the river.

Our fellow winter travellers appreciated the canoe as we were able to pack in all the heavy items like food and beverages while they snowshoed into the cabin.

Paddling out was a little more work as we paddled against the current to get back to Fort Babine but again so worth it.

This is the snowiest paddle we have ever done and the plan is to head back this summer and paddle from Tukii Resort on Lake Babine down Rainbow Alley and into Nilkitkwa Lake. This will be about 20 miles so we will camp out one night en route - looking forward to that trip already.
