Clendinning Lake
Clendinning Lake is a medium sized, very remote lake located in the Clendinning Range about 98.5 km northwest of Squamish. It is the source of Clendinning Creek, a major tributary of the Elaho River. Stature Oddly enough, most of the lake isn't within Clendinning Provincial Park. Only the very northernmost section (which includes the lake outlet) is within the park. About 3.1 km long and 0.5 wide, the only thing that feeds the lake is the Clendinning Glacier, which is located at its far, southern end. The lake outlet is located at the near, southern end. Rising above its east shore is Frontline Mountain and situated on a ridge above the west shore of the lake is the Doolittle Glacier. Access Accessing the lake is very difficult, as it requires one to make a minimum 2-3 day trek up the Clendinning Creek Valley. There is no trail and much of the trip requires bushwhacking. Fording icy Clendinning Creek at least once would be an almost certainty, and it ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Clendinning Creek
Clendinning Creek is a river in British Columbia. It is the largest tributary of the Elaho River. It is located entirely within Clendinning Provincial Park. Clendinning Creek is one of two popular whitewater kayak multi day trips in South West BC. Paddlers fly out of Green Lake in Whistler, it is usually a 2-day trip or can be combined with Fear Canyon on the Elaho to make a 3 days trip. Course Clendinning Creek originates at the outlet of remote Clendinning Lake. It kicks off by briefly flowing northeast for about 1.4 km before turning southeast and flowing that way for about 26.2 km until it reaches the Elaho River. Tributaries Clendinning Creek's only major (officially named) tributaries are Wave Creek and Jacobson Creek. Wave Creek enters the river where it turns from northeast to southeast, about 1.4 below the outlet of Clendinning Lake. Jacobson Creek enters the river about 1.7 miles above its confluence with the Elaho. See also *List of rivers of B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lake
A lake is often a naturally occurring, relatively large and fixed body of water on or near the Earth's surface. It is localized in a basin or interconnected basins surrounded by dry land. Lakes lie completely on land and are separate from the ocean, although they may be connected with the ocean by rivers. Lakes, as with other bodies of water, are part of the water cycle, the processes by which water moves around the Earth. Most lakes are fresh water and account for almost all the world's surface freshwater, but some are salt lakes with salinities even higher than that of seawater. Lakes vary significantly in surface area and volume of water. Lakes are typically larger and deeper than ponds, which are also water-filled basins on land, although there are no official definitions or scientific criteria distinguishing the two. Lakes are also distinct from lagoons, which are generally shallow tidal pools dammed by sandbars or other material at coastal regions of ocean ...

Elaho River
The Elaho River is a c.70 km long river beginning in the Coast Mountains northwest of the towns of Whistler and Pemberton, British Columbia. It is a tributary of the Squamish River and is known for its whitewater rafting and kayaking as well as for the intense alpine scenery lining its route. The Elaho is much larger than the Squamish River when it meets with it. The Elaho is often subject to flash flooding. Course The Elaho River originates at the outlet of an unnamed lake fed directly by the Elaho Glacier. The river starts off by flowing southeast for about 10.2 miles until its confluence with Marlow Creek, which flows from the Pemberton Icefield. The river turns south here and flows south here about 12.6 to its confluence with its largest tributary, Clendinning Creek. Between Marlow Creek and Clendinning Creek, the river flows through spectacular Elaho Canyon, a popular whitewater rafting section. From the Clendinning Creek confluence, the river continues south for an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
