May 26, 2026 - Kennedy Lake to Sand River - Harvey Pearson

The paddle on Kennedy Lake to Sand River was a good success, perfect sunny weather and calm conditions.  The pristine beauty of the forests and mountains, rock bluffs and sparkling waters was tonic for the soul.  After circumnavigating Rocky Island, we had lunch on the sandy shores of the Sand River Campsite, and then proceeded to a little beach on the way back for a cold-water swim.  

In total, we paddled 9.9 miles.  On the way home, we stopped off at Twin Falls to see the Kennedy River at its finest.

May 19, 2026 Cous Creek, Port Alberni - Harvey Pearson

Seven club members attended the Cous Creek paddle May 19th, 2026.  The weather was cloudy but favourable and we paddled nearly eight miles to Cous Estuary where we stopped and had a snack.  We saw a few eagles along the way and some active boom boats.  

On the way back, we stopped at the 'Boy Scout Camp' and had lunch.  Everyone was in good spirits and we arrived back fairly early.  

Next time, we are looking to explore Cous Creek Canyon, but will have to wait for a high tide.
