Top 10 Canoeing Trips

The Canadian half of BWCA, wilder and quieter. Skilled navigation required.

Classic Canadian Shield river — pictographs, whitewater, and a real sense of scale.

Multi-week route from headwaters to James Bay. History, whitewater, and true remote paddling.

A traditional New England wilderness river with campsites, portages, and a strong outfitter scene.

Multi-day desert canyon paddling — a completely different flavor from Northern trips.

Barren-lands expeditions — no trees, no help, muskox country. Serious trip planning required.

Virginia Falls, deep canyons, and hot springs. The classic 'trip of a lifetime' northern river.

116 km loop through connected lakes — the rare wilderness paddle you can do without a shuttle.

Multi-day cultural canoeing in Europe. Slower pace, chateaus and villages, a very different but excellent trip.
