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.

A group of 4 males aged 45 – 52 are looking for potentially 2 more partners (3 canoes total) to canoe the Elk and Thelon Rivers in NWT, from Vermette Lake to Warden’s Grove (just south of the confluence of the Hanbury River).
This trip will take us through the esker-filled areas of the Elk River and the Upper Thelon, prime wolf den habitat.
Outfitter has been booked to pick us up at Points North Landing in Northern Saskatchewan, drop down onto Vermette lake, then pick up at Warden’s Grove for return trip to Points North Landing. Pick up at Points North Landing is at noon on July 12th. Return is on July 30th. The 4 of us are driving from Ottawa leaving on July 9th. You can see pictures from our 2004 trip from Warden’s Grove to the Thelon Bluffs at http://www.lewyckyj.com/Nestor Rostyslaw Lewyckyj/Thelon River 2004.htm.

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 mango coloured equife nitro was stolen from in front of my house (it was cable locked) in downtown west end Toronto. Stolen Friday night/Saturday morning (Aug. 22 -23). Ten year old boat; well used; some wear through the paint; extra air bags; a plywood thwart; custom rigging. Some members will recognize the boat as I was a member a few years back.

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.
