This group adventure is the perfect way to sample canoe tripping, without camping overnight. There is challenging paddling (8-16km), tranquil drifting, portaging (600m), hiking (1.5km), cliff jumping (if you want), swimming, a scenic lookout, historic landmarks, wild edibles (in season), spectacular landscapes and wildlife observation (usually birds, butterflies, turtles & small mammals; periodic moose & larger mammals).
Our canoes are all custom made 4 seaters, convenient for families and making new friends. These lightweight kevlar boats are easy to carry (solo or tandem) over the short portage.
Lunch is a fabulous sandwich from Henrietta's Pine Bakery. We also serve a granola bar snack....
