This is a feeler to see if anyone would be interested in Spanish River trip.
There are several options how to run the river. See the following link for possible routes: http://www.spanishriveroutfitters.com/Routes.htm
The lower part of the river would take 3 days. The upper part should take about 7 days.
I'm pretty flexible in term of schedule (perhaps August/September) and the itineraries.
We might put in on the West branch of the river in Biscotasing or Snaker Creek. Both places can be reached by VIA Rail train from Cartier.
The take out then could be The Elbow or Agnew Lake.

I am researching for an article about the Linkanoe, which was built at Gananoque, ON, in 1945-47. Ed Link was the inventor of the first airplane flight trainer, and those trainers sold to Commonwealth nations during WW2 were built in Gananoque. At the wars end there was no longer a demand for flight trainers, so the factory at Gananoque was kept going by building several different models of canoes and boats. Ed Link was a pilot, owned an amphibious plane - a Grumman Widgeon and leased some land in Quebec for a 'wilderness retreat'. Thru my research I know he had a cabin at a place named Crooked Lake, Quebec, and I would like to find out where this is. I've searched on Canadian Place Names both in English and French, and have come up with nothing, though I would have guessed there are dozens of lakes in Canada named Crooked. To kind of limit things to an area, my guess would be that he would have taken off from Gananoque and headed north, NW/NE for an hour or so to get to his cabin. Has anyone been to a Crooked Lake, PQ, in this region? And if anyone has knowledge concerning the Linkanoe or other boats built in Gananoque 1945-7, I'm interested. Thanks for the help. Tom McCloud

Comfortable water access cottage amidst rock and pines and the songs of owls and veeries. Paddle a short distance up the Black River to a set of cascades or up the Moira River to an picturesque open area and a granite outcropping perfect for a shore lunch.

Hike along the rock above the cottage to a heron nesting area and beyond, if you want, to the beaver dam. Paddle among the flooded maples in the spring or in and around their colorful leaves in fall. Reasonable rates.
