Yes, it’s mandatory.

“What is the procedure on our return?”
After paddling the lakes, you arrive at our beach. A big sign, “Becker’s Landing” welcomes you. To the left of the sign is the trail to the lodge/office. You pick up your car keys, etc. and drive to the beach and load your personal stuff in your vehicle. It is mandatory to clean our equipment. Dirty equipment can’t be accepted. Please don’t flip your boat in the water to clean it. All the dirt will hang up in the gunnel. Take a bailer or two of water and wipe out the boat with your sponge and bail out the dirty water. Very simple. Takes only a couple minutes. Our canoe guide will pick up all our equipment afterwards unless different arrangements have been made (Circuit Economy – return everything to lodge, Cariboo Falls Package – return everything but boat to lodge)

“Why do you take a damage deposit imprint?”
If there is damage to our equipment or loss, you get charged for it.

Yes, for four quarters you smell better and we have laundry facilities too.

“How come everything is so clean around here?”
Because we like it that way.

“Do you allow pets?”
Yes! This is new! We allow pets on leash at Becker’s Lodge. Pets are allowed in some of the cabins with a $50.00 and a maximum of two pets/cabin or campsite. We have only a few cabins that we allow pets in. Please clean up after your pets and keep them off our furniture so we can continue to be a pet-friendly resort. There’s lots of wildlife here for you to enjoy as well. If you’re paddling the circuit, BC Parks does not allow dogs in the canoe circuit either for safety reasons.

"Just returned from doing the circuit. Our groups experience was great. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The equipment was in excellent condition. They matched us with the right equipment for our skill level, provided us with valuable information and took care to ensure we were ready for the canoe trip."

OUR HISTORY

Our Lodge was built in 1933 and named Cariboo Hunting & Fishing Lodge. Fred Becker bought the lodge in 1969 and the name, Becker’s Lodge hasn’t changed since. The Vollmer Family took over from 1992 until 2019, when new owners Randy & Tina assumed operation and management of Becker’s Lodge on beautiful Bowron Lake.
