Paddlewheel Rides
aboard the
M.V.Yukon Queen

Dutch Lake Resort, Clearwater, BC, Canada

Today, there are few sternwheelers
in existence. They are an
important part of the history
of the North Thompson Valley.

Eagles, osprey, turkey vultures, loons, Canadian Geese and more
may be seen on this ride.

During the fall, tour the
lake and see the vibrant
colors of the season.
 

   One of the most asked questions is "How did Dutch Lake get it's name?"   

Dutch Lake was originally named "Deutch" Lake for the two German bachelor homesteaders who resided on opposite sides of the lake. Over time, "Deutch"
Lake was later changed to Dutch Lake. For the Dutch people aboard today,
we say that the lake was named for the Dutch water lilies around the shores
of the lake which were transplanted from Holland in 1946.

**While aboard the MV Yukon Queen you will hear the history of the
sternwheeler and Dutch Lake Resort as well as information on
Clearwater and Wells Gray Provincial Park.**
 

Watch the Bald Eagle dive for trout.

See the resident loons in their natural habitat.
 

7 varieties of the Dutch water lily can be
