For those venturing into the Bowron Lakes Provincial Park of British Columbia to do the 72 mile canoe circuit, Indianpoint is one of the first big mountains you'll paddle past. It's long distinctive summit well above tree line is noticeable while canoeing along Indianpoint Lake. No trail will get you up, just a rough and tough brush bash from start to finish. From the summit, you'll be able to admire your first days approach, the first and second portage, Kibbee Lake and Indianpoint Lake.

It's a long day, a good 550 mile drive north of Seattle Washington. The Bowron Circuit is just south of Prince George, which is about the halfway point to the Yukon. If your serious about canoeing the Bowron, you already know how to get there. This information is for those planning a trip and want to add a little more adventure, as if the trip wasn't already enough!

Route:

All the campsites are on the north side of the lake, canoe across the lake and enter the forest trying to get on the NW trending ridgeline. There is a more defined north and a west ridge as well, I'm sure they are all about the same. As the map shows, around 6,000 feet the trees go away and the views finally arrive. Follow the north ridge to the broad and open summit area.
