Bear River Mercantile Your Bowron Lake Adventure Specialists

Over the years I have collected thick files about Bowron Lake and the various activities the area offers.  I continually work on compiling this research into Information sheets which can benefit area visitors.  In the past I only sent this information out to customers upon request, but I decided to make the most requested ones available on this website.   Please drop me a line  if you found them helpful and also let me know if there are any other subjects you might like to see here in the future.  Remember that I hold all copyrights on these information sheets and they are not for copying, reproduction or selling.  Please use them to learn more about the area and to better prepare yourself for a back country canoe trip such as the Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit.  Sandy Phillips
