A new edition of the best-selling guide, expanded with 10 more routes and over 50 more pages. Ontario is blessed with some of the most scenic and enjoyable lakes and rivers in the world — it truly is a paddler’s paradise. This updated and expanded third edition is destined to become the classic guide to the very best canoeing that Canada has to offer. Top 70 Canoe Routes of Ontario includes 10 more of Kevin Callan’s favourite canoe excursions. While some of these routes are well known to paddlers province-wide others are hidden secrets. The trips range from day-long paddles to week-long expeditions and are divided amongst nine regions: Southern Ontario, Cottage Country, Algonquin, Central Ontario, Eastern Ontario, Temagami, Ontario’s Near North, Northern Ontario and Northwestern Ontario. New routes include: Georgian Bay’s Eastern Shore; Queen Elizabeth Wildlands; Trent-Severn Waterway to Georgian Bay; Tay River and Canal; Lake Nippissing’s West Bay Grand River — Cambrige to Brantford; The Nith River; Wallaceburg Water Trail; Temagami’s Wasaksina-Cross Lake Loop; Wildwood Conservation Area. Kevin offers paddlers all they will need to complete each route, including accurate maps of all access points, portage lengths, important river features and campsites — all embellished with historical notes and Kevin’s trademark humour. He also includes a detailed “Before You Go” section in which he shares the expertise that has earned him the title of Canada’s Happy Camper.
[Review of previous edition: ] Canoeist Kevin Callan, author of the bestseller The Happy Camper, has mined his Paddler's Guides series to compile this top-50 list for his 13th book on canoe trips in Ontario. Whether you're looking for a two-day outing or a week-long adventure, Callan provides all the information you need for each route--the number of portages and their lengths, river features, historical notes, and maps. He also includes difficulty ratings and use advice such as where the poison ivy is lurking.--Liz Grogan "Good Times" (5/31/2011 12:00:00 AM) [Review of previous edition: ] The book is as complete as they come, telling important factors such as the amount of days needed to complete trips, along with the number of portages, and the entire length as well. With a map for every area, it will give you the perfect sense of your journey and what you have to look forward to on your canoeing venture... Those who enjoy the act of canoeing will be more than in their glory...
