Welcome to Canadian Canoe Routes

Canadian Canoe Routes is an online meeting place for those who enjoy exploring the lakes and rivers of Canada by canoe.

Inside, you'll find hundreds of route descriptions, gear information and reviews, tips, tricks and techniques and active discussion forums.

The most important thing you'll find is people - a community of paddlers who share a common bond - their love of Canada's wilderness areas and their passion for exploring it by canoe.
