Geocache Description:

This is on Camp 2 road which follows beside the Clearwater River. It is used all summer long for river rafting and kayaking. This is the take out area used by kayaks.

he Clearwater River is the largest tributary of the North Thompson River, joining it at the community of Clearwater, British Columbia. The Clearwater rises from glaciers in the Cariboo Mountains and flows in a mostly southerly direction for 201 km (125 mi) to the North Thompson. Its entire course, except the last 5 km (3 mi), is within Wells Gray Provincial Park. Its confluence with the North Thompson is protected by North Thompson River Provincial Park.

There are two large lakes on the Clearwater River. Hobson Lake is 35 km (22 mi) long and averages 1.5 km (0.9 mi) wide. Clearwater Lake is 24 km (15 mi) long and averages 2 km (1.2 mi) wide. The Clearwater's largest tributaries are (from source to mouth) Hobson Creek, Goat Creek, Lickskillet Creek, Azure River, Falls Creek, Murtle River, Mahood River, Hemp Creek, Grouse Creek, and Spahats Creek.[4]

The river is popular for fly fishing, whitewater kayaking, whitewater rafting, hiking, and wildlife viewing.

If you want to experience the adrenalin rush of the swirling Clearwater rapids without the advanced skills needed to steer a canoe, consider a guided trip in a sturdy, eight-person rubber raft. While helmets and top-quality personal flotation devices are mandatory, river running experience is not. A sleeping bag, good raingear and a keen sense of adventure are all that are needed on your choice of upper or lower Clearwater rafting runs.
