Bowron Lake Provincial Park is a lake and mountain-filled wilderness park located in northern British Columbia, Canada, about 120 kilometers east of the city of Quesnel and near the town of Wells and the historic destination of Barkerville. The main attraction is the 166 km (103 mile) canoe circuit through the Cariboo Mountains, which follows lakes, rivers, and short portages between waterways. The trip takes about a week to complete. The park includes glaciated mountains, cold deep lakes, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife.
The park is located at 54.03°N latitude and 121.50°W longitude, and is 1492.07 square kilometres (368,700 acres) in size.
