Trip Planning

The Stikine River has it all. We are looking for one or two paddlers to compliment our group of four. The upper river has alpine lakes, scenic waterfalls, moderate whitewater, mountains and abundant wildlife. The Grand Canyon of the Stikine was described by John Muir as Yosemite 100 miles long. The lower Stikine passes through the Coastal Mountains, numerous glaciers, a glacier lake, hot springs, temperate rainforest and finally Alaska. We do not expect insects and the fall colours should be spectacular.

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.

Looking for an intermediate ww canoeist to paddle the Coppermine River in August.

This is a four-week trip that will include lots of hiking and fishing. The paddling on the river takes about two weeks so there is lots of time to explore the land.

Going in August will offer us a better possibility of seeing caribou and other wildlife and lower water levels on rapids.

We are a group of five friends of various ages who know each other through the WCA and have tripped together on remote rivers in Nunavut and NWT. We love the barren lands - full of space, beauty and northern spirit!

We are looking for an experienced white-water canoeist to paddle a remote river west of Ungava Bay (Northern Quebec). There is a good chance of seeing caribou on the river and other wildlife.

The trip starts hiking at Pingualuit crater (a location of one of Quebec’s National Parks) and finishes on the coast of Ungava Bay.

This river has been paddled only once last year (as far as we know). Though we have maps and descriptions of rapids, this is an exploratory trip. We are a group of three paddlers with northern tripping experience. We are open to having 3 canoes altogether.

Looking for information on the Brightsand River north of Thunder Bay (east of Quetico). Planning a trip for early July for one week. Have MNR maps and topos but need info on water levels, camp sites, portages and whether it is an enjoyable trip. Trying to figure how far we can go in one week on this water (from CNR at north-east end or from road access ). Any info would be helpful.

My wife and I live on the boundary of Frontenac Park and are looking for canoeists keen on whitewater solo or tandem. We are willing to travel within eastern Ontario and western Quebec, are available seven days a week from June 1 to October 30 and will paddle single or multiple day trips.
Easy-going, safety-conscious, fit, years of wilderness/guiding experience but "unconnected" in Ontario.
