Clendinning Creek is a cool river located in British Columbia, Canada. It's the biggest river that flows into the Elaho River. You can find the entire creek inside the beautiful Clendinning Provincial Park.
This creek is super popular for whitewater kayaking trips that last a few days. Adventurers often start their journey by flying in from Green Lake near Whistler. A trip down Clendinning Creek usually takes about two days. If you're feeling extra adventurous, you can combine it with the Fear Canyon section of the Elaho River for a three-day adventure!
Where Does Clendinning Creek Flow?
Clendinning Creek starts its journey at the end of a faraway lake called Clendinning Lake. First, it flows towards the northeast for about 1.4 kilometers (almost a mile). Then, it makes a turn and flows southeast for a much longer distance, about 26.2 kilometers (around 16 miles). Finally, it joins the Elaho River.
