THE HIKING

Hemp Creek Canyonlands have a network of very scenic and interesting wilderness trails. While the way to and from the cabin leads you via the Flat Iron Trail to a scenic viewpoint and along Trout Creek Canyon to the Clearwater River (2,5 hrs), other trails are highly recommended for day trips out of your base camp at the cabin: The Moul Falls Trail (3-4 hrs), the Hoodoo Trail ( 5 hrs) and the even longer Whitehorse Bluffs trail (7-8 hrs) invite to daily adventure treks. Some backtracking to a main intersection of trails is required daily out of the cabin

 

THE FISHING

Clearwater River and it's tributaries offer world class fishing opportunities for spin casting and fly fishing alike. A fishing license and salmon tags (for salmon fishing only) are required and available in Clearwater at the Tourist Information Center. The Clearwater River itself is closed for fishing until July 15th and from then on it is "Catch & Release" for Trout and Char only.

Our property encompasses the confluence of Hemp Creek and Clearwater River (the mouth and approx. 400-500 meters upstream). Hemp Creek is open for Trout and Char all summer long and your daily catch quota is four, one of which only over 50 cm. Of these four you are also only allowed 1 Dolly Varden and 1 Bull Trout which both have to be a minimum of 60 cm.

Salmon Fishing: Chinook Salmon is open in both streams for the month of August only. Your daily catch quota is four, of which only one can be over 50 cm and your monthly bag limit of Chinook over 50cm is four.
