Amazing trip made possible by an outstanding company. From the time we sent the first email to returning our equipment it was beyond excellent service. Response time was very quick, equipment was in excellent shape, pick up and drop off was effortless and recommendations for all aspects of the adventure was appreciated. Would definitely recommend Mitchell’s Canoe and Kayak. Hats off to these folks.

We so appreciated Christie's great advise. The ultra-light canoes were a delight to paddle & made the portaging so manageable. We loved using the kayak paddles in the canoes for the person at the front. Here campsite tips were amazing. So grateful for all she does to keep the campsites & trails so well maintained.

Kayak paddling in the bow is so much faster! Thank you for the review.

Christie Mitchell made our canoe trip on the Powell Forest Canoe route pleasant and easy. The gear was top notch and dealing with Mitchell's was easy and convenient. Christie gave great advice on how to tackle the route and her website was also extremely helpful in planning the trip. Transportation to and from Mitchell's by Sasquatch Trails was also outstanding.

Excellent service, and all the equipment was in great condition. The entire process was seamless and the communication from Mitchell's was always prompt and helpful. They know the area quite well, so I recommend getting in touch with them as you are planning your trip. No complaints whatsoever.

I cannot rave enough about this trip...the portaging was definitely more challenging than I expected but was well worth it! We decided to paddle the route in the opposite direction as most (starting at Powell) to avoid the headwinds of Powell and spend more time in the smaller lakes. A homemade sail zoomed us across the 28km lake in no time :) Campsites were well maintained, but get to them early if you want the "prime ocean front spots". Christie was AMAZING in helping us organize and answer any questions. She was even able to provide last minute transportation for us when our other plans fell through. There are no words for how amazing this trip was. 5 days of wilderness, unplugged from the world. Amazing.

Christie was very flexible and accommodating when our schedule changed last-minute. With no additional fees for re-booking she happily accommodated our date change request.
The equipment she provided was in good working order and her directions and insight to the Powell Forest Canoe Route were invaluable.
I won't hesitate to user Christie's services again and am happy to recommend her services.

Coming from UK, Christie helped us select the right route and equipment for us to have a challenging but manageable canoe trip on the Powell River lakes with our two daughters aged 10 and 12. Couldn’t recommend this route or Mitchell’s more. Will definitely be recommending to all my Canadian and UK friends!

Myself and my 16 year daughter did the 5 day, 4 night Powell Forest Canoe Route through Mitchell's Canoe, Kayak & SUP, Sales and Rentals near Power River town - a couple of car ferries and a drive from Vancouver. It was a beautiful trip. The route was straightforward and clear.
Portaging wasn't always easy, some of the routes were quite tricky and long, carrying a canoe (I'd advice the lightest canoe available) and backpack, think Fitzcarraldo. The camping sites are very nice, the whole area was peaceful and gorgeous, sleeping to the sound of wolves howling.

The longer you rent the cheaper it gets per day. The rates are on my website at canoeingbc. I would put a direct link here, but it won't allow it.
Thank you.
