Nestled amidst the
majestic Pacific coast mountain ranges of northern British Columbia,
the Babine River offers a superb five- or six-day adventure
featuring hiking, camping and river rafting in an isolated
wilderness environment. Beginning at Nilkitkwa Lake, 60 miles (95
km) of the Babine flows in view of the Babine and Atna mountain
ranges.
The
first four days of Babine's multiday raft trips include several
Class III rapids and numerous opportunities to photograph the
unspoiled wilderness and its eagles, moose, and grizzly bears. On
day five, rafters journey through a narrow, steep-walled canyon that
creates the Babine's most exciting Class IV whitewater. Guests
frequently see grizzlies feeding on salmon during the stretch. The
final day is spent floating the larger Skeena River to the take-out
at Kispiox Indian Village.
