Kentucky and Alleyne Lakes Paddling

Kamloops Trails Posted on by

The campground at Kentucky and Alleyne Lakes is a good spot for a quiet retreat near smaller lakes, with some pleasant trails and paddling opportunities.   We paddled both Kentucky and Alleyne Lakes in the same day.

IMG_0215rThere are launch spots on both lakes from the campground.   the paddle around Kentucky Lake is 4km and the paddle around Alleyne Lake is 3.7 km.   Both lakes have a turquoise color and white-mud shoals.

IMG_0213rThe north end of the lakes is grasslands and part of the Douglas Lake Cattle Company.

IMG_1400rThe south end of the lakes is surrounded by forest.   Both lakes are worth a trip for a day of paddling or for anyone wanting to camp in a pleasant spot in the Southern Interior.

About KamloopsTrails

I started exploring this area in 1976 and I continue to follow tracks and routes wherever they lead, with the aid of map, compass, GPSr and camera. After many dead-ends, but also many discoveries, I chose to share this information. Getting out 12 months each year, I continue to explore trails, tracks, routes, and waterways of the Kamloops area and beyond.

  1. Be careful where you launch or if you try to get out, the white mud will try to eat your shoe. I got out to stretch my legs on the shore at the north end and was knee deep in mud.
