About Canoe Rentals & Accommodations
Our office is located at the lodge. Pass the store building and drive right up to the lodge. Opening hours 8:00am to 6:00pm. If you have rented from us, it is mandatory to come to the office first to sign in, see us and our staff, sign the waiver, sign the damage deposit, finalize your bill, etc. We will have an answer for all the questions you may have and will show you the boats and hand out the equipment you rented for packing your things. We also set up a time for the next morning.
Late Arrival
See our info case next the office for cabin location, camping, washhouse, etc. Most likely your accommodations will be unlocked. The “orientation” is at the BC Parks Registration Center, 2.5 kms down the road.
Returns
After paddling the lakes, you arrive at our beach. A big sign, “Becker’s Landing” welcomes you. To the left of the sign is the trail to the lodge/office. You pick up your car keys, etc. and drive to the beach and load your personal stuff in your vehicle. It is mandatory to clean our equipment. Dirty equipment can’t be accepted. Please don’t flip your boat in the water to clean it. All the dirt will hang up in the gunnel. Take a bailer or two of water and wipe out the boat with your sponge and bail out the dirty water. Very simple. Takes only a couple minutes. Our canoe guide will pick up all our equipment afterwards unless different arrangements have been made (Circuit Economy – return everything to lodge, Cariboo Falls Package – return everything but boat to lodge)
