Canoeing & Kayaking

Temagami is canoe country. And we think it’s the best in Ontario, Canada for canoe tripping. Look at a map. You see more lakes and rivers in Temagami than land --the most interconnecting canoe route system in North America. In Temagami you canoe trip (and portage) without retracing your ‘steps,’ be it 2 days or 2 months. Kayaking is ideal on the big lakes. Stars, pure water, old growth pines, a canoe; it doesn’t get any better, or more Canadian. Call us for your ideal canoe route or kayak trip.
