Blue River & Avola

Jewel of the Yellowhead


Sparkling glacier-fed lakes, breathtaking mountain peaks, cascading waterfalls and intriguing wildlife welcome visitors from around the world to Blue River & Avola throughout the year.


“Take a break by Eleanor Lake!” Halfway between Kamloops and Jasper, the friendly mountain village of Blue River & Avola welcomes you to explore Eleanor Lake. Moments off the Yellowhead Highway it is a perfect spot for a picnic, swim or relaxing in the lakeside gazebo.


Blue River & Avola offers the only access to Murtle Lake in Wells Gray Park, the largest non-motorized lake in North America. Rent a canoe and cart or bring your own to challenge your paddling skills.


In winter, Blue River & Avola is a ‘Powder Paradise’ – famous for a spectacular winter snow vacation of heli-skiing and snowboarding adventures at the world renowned Mike Wiegele’s Heli Ski Resort.
