: I'm in Smithers, about half way between Prince George and Prince
: Rupert. You must get some nice lake paddling down there,
: although the traffic must get a bit heavy in the summer.

: I paddle mostly out of Prince Rupert, usually on sailing trips. My
: wife and I keep the kayaks on deck, and paddle on day tours from
: our anchorages.

I know where smithers is don't ever get up that way though all my family live on the coast or in Alta. LAke paddling in the okanagan is beautiful but you are right boat traffic in the summer months is crazy! Thankfully there are a tonne of mountain lakes that are not more than 30 minutes or less away from the "tourist" lakes in kelowna. Only good thing about the crazy boat traffic is that I work at a boat repair shop in town and the crazy boating season keeps me going fixing everyones "mistakes".
