Wilderness Canoe Association

The Wilderness Canoe Association is a non-profit organization of individuals interested in the outdoor pursuits and in wilderness travel by canoe.
Sharing the Wilderness Experience:
Fall Meeting We had a great weekend of flatwater and whitewater paddling, hiking and friendship at our Annual Fall Meeting, which was held at Cedar Ridge Camp, located on 150 acres just south of McArthurs Mills. Most folks paddled the Little Mississippi River and a few opted for a very low water Lower Madawaska run. Saturday night we had 2 trip presentations and one presentation on how to use online mapping tools. On Sunday we hiked the Mazinaw trail system. Check out the photos on our WCA Facebook page.
September 14 - 16, 2018.
NOW CLOSED See you in Fall of 2019 |

Canoe Trips and Other Outings
Flatwater and whitewater canoe trips and other outings are organized by members for members, including day trips to local rivers, multi-day canoeing & camping and wilderness expeditions. They represent one of our core values. Love to paddle but need company? Not sure about going down that river by yourself? Never been wilderness camping? You've come to the right place!
See the list of scheduled trips on the Outings page.
