Paddling near Vancouver, British Columbia


Vancouver sits on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, where the Coast Mountains meet tidal inlets, fjords, and the Fraser River. The city is a serious paddling hub — sea kayaking on Indian Arm, SUP at Jericho Beach, and flatwater canoeing on Alouette Lake are all within reach. Cold, deep water and mountain scenery define the experience.
