What we’re about
PADDLE CAMPING -
Some campers enjoy sharing their camping experience with 1000 other campers in crowded car campgrounds that have more rules than a downtown hi-rise condo.
We paddle across lakes, and portage our canoes into remote forests where most people do not go, and we can do things our way. Often we are the only group of campers on a lake.
If you need a break from the crowd, join us on beautiful lakes that you want to spend your vacation by. We find quiet, serene locations where our paddlers create the fun. Our paddlers are the best people you could meet. Come and add your talents to our backcountry camping groups.
POST YOUR EVENT WITH OUR GROUP - Paddling, hiking, camping, skiing, or any social event. We have 900 members, and some of them will share your interests, and want to join you in your activities. If our hikes and canoe trips that are listed are too short, challenge our super stars to join your extreme adventures.
PADDLE WITH US - This group does canoe trips. We plan a back country canoe trip about every two weeks or on long weekends. The average paddler can do these trips; most will be two nights and three days, with an average paddle of 15 km. per day. We look for Crown Land and beautiful, remote, lakes that you want to go to. There will be short trips for beginners to practice, and advanced trips for explorers. Join our winter activities to meet people who have canoes and cars, and who are looking for other groups to go tripping with.
ANNUAL REPORT -
The third week of October is a good time for a year end because the lakes start to cool and paddling becomes dangerous. We do our last canoe trip at Thanksgiving.
2022
In 2022 we did 8 canoe trips with 74 attendees consisting of 46 individuals.
Thank you to everyone for a great summer.

Canoe trips: 7, attendees 52, consisting of, 35 individuals.

More important, everyone at these events reported that they had a good time, and we brought them all back alive.
This group is to connect people so they can enjoy canoe trips together. The purpose of the group is to find like minded people who want to go on canoe trips, but might not have a group to go with. Enjoy the natural beauty that Ontario has to offer and meet some new friends in the process!
