At the end of September we hiked trails in Tsutswewc Provincial Park. From the Wade Road parking area (just across the bridge), trails go north or south. The route up the river goes through a burned forest to the canyon. It can be hiked now, but trails beyond the canyon still have burned and fallen trees. We hiked that trail in the spring – Adams River Trail. For this day, we decided to hike downstream trails to Shuswap Lake and then back upstream on forested trails.
It was early for fall color and for the salmon run, but the route along the river was still scenic and peaceful. There are a number of view spots, then a wide panorama of Shuswap Lake at the beach. The return trail wound through a cedar forest to the main parking area by the viewing platforms, then through cottonwoods on the final section upriver. The route was a two hour hike (7.5 km).
