There are 45 places where overnight stays can be made in small tents equipped with bear-proof platforms in order to keep food stocks safe, simple toilet facilities and some with cooking shelters. Canoes can be hired at two lodges at the park entrance; information and maps can be obtained from the Nature House at the northern end of Bowron Lake, where those going on a canoe tour must sign themselves in and out. Outward-bound experience, physical fitness and suitable equipment are essential.

In summer the number of permits issued for the total round trip is limited to 50 canoeists per day. Bowron Lake and the straggling Spectacle Lakes are suitable for shorter boat trips - without the need to carry the boat across land.
