Bowron Lake Provincial Park, Provincial park in Cariboo Mountain Range, Canada

Bowron Lake Provincial Park is a 139,700-hectare provincial park in the Cariboo Mountains of east-central British Columbia, about 117 km east of Quesnel. Its roughly rectangular chain of elongated lakes, linked by short portages, forms a 116 km paddling circuit. The park's highest point is Vixen Peak at 2,693 m, and the Bowron River and Cariboo River rise within its boundaries.

The territory was established as a game reserve in 1925 to protect wildlife and natural resources in the mountain region. Over time it evolved into a managed recreational area where visitors could experience the backcountry.

Many landmarks carry Carrier names: Mount Ishpa means "my father", Kaza Mountain "arrow", the Itzul Range "forest", the Tediko Range "girls" and Lanezi Lake "long". Settlers also found clam middens, old campfires, arrowheads and cache pits in the park. A 100-person village on Bowron Lake slid into the water in 1964.

Advance reservations are required for paddlers during the main season, as the park limits visitor numbers to protect the environment. Weather conditions can change quickly in the mountains, so visitors should plan accordingly and bring proper gear for cold water.

The chain of lakes and connecting waterways forms a rough rectangle, so paddlers on the 116 km circuit return to the starting point without retracing their route. The circuit links most of the park's lakes through short portages. Outside magazine named it one of the world's top ten canoe trips.
