Canoeing days
Nuk Tessli offers great canoeing days.
In addition to our canoe fleet, we also offer a variety of other water vessels including Kayaks, SUP etc.
Boundary Lake | full day | easy - moderate:
Boundary Lake is an amazing full-day canoe adventure through three beautiful wilderness lakes.
The day begins by paddling the length of Whitton Lake to its far end, where another set of canoes will be waiting for you to continue across Cohen Lake.
From the end of Cohen Lake, a 1.5 km hike brings you to Boundary Lake, where more canoes are ready for the final paddle.
There is no need to carry canoes or paddles between lakes. Everything is set up for you. Just you, the water, the mountains, and the quiet of the wilderness.

The Three Brothers Trail
5 hours | 150m elevation gain | easy:
The Three Brothers Trail is a wonderful route that combines hiking and canoeing through a beautiful chain of lakes and meadows.
The trail begins by passing through Chris’s Meadows, where you’ll find a colourful variety of wildflowers in bloom. From there, it continues up to Jetha Lake, where canoes are waiting for you to paddle across to the far shore.
A short hike then brings you to Maila Lake, where another set of canoes takes you across the water once again. The route continues around Kancha Lake before climbing gently to a beautiful viewpoint, with lovely views mainly to the east.
This is a fun and varied day, with just the right mix of hiking, paddling, flowers, lakes, and mountain views.

Whitton Lake | easy:
Guests are welcome to use Nuk Tessli’s canoes, kayaks, SUPs, and floaties to enjoy time on Whitton Lake.
Spend a relaxed afternoon paddling to the Lonely Bench, Lovers Cove, the Submerged Bench, Sunrise Point, Sandy Beach, or one of the nearby hiking trailheads.
It’s a beautiful and peaceful way to explore the lake, take in the views, and enjoy the quiet wilderness surrounding the lodge.

Tweedsmuir Provincial Park / Turner Lake chain
easy - moderate:
Tweedsmuir Provincial Park offers some exceptional canoeing opportunities.
A short floatplane flight takes you to the Turner Lake Chain, where you can spend the day paddling through beautiful wilderness lakes with views toward the spectacular Hunlen Falls—one of the tallest waterfalls in Canada.
A short hiking trail leads to two incredible viewpoints. One brings you close to the brink, where the water drops dramatically into the canyon below. The other offers a more distant view, where you can take in the full height and power of the falls.
It’s a memorable day of flying, paddling, hiking, and experiencing one of the most impressive landscapes in Tweedsmuir Park.
